Lavender Heights Eviction Risk: High , Sacramento

This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,223 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Sacramento commands. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Against the Sacramento County average of 7.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Sacramento County average of 50.2%. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $59,821.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
