Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gardenland

86% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Sacramento County average of 50.2%. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Sacramento County average of 7.1. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

66% 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. Average gross rent is $1,384, 22% below the Sacramento average.

SNAP participation runs 24.5% against 15.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10. 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.

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