Seaside Eviction Risk: High

It sits 2.4 points above the Monterey County average of 7.2. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

Against Monterey County at 51.7%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $1,894 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Seaside commands. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
