Joshua Tree Highlands Eviction Risk: Elevated

At $1,746 a month, rents run 40% over what the rest of Joshua Tree commands. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.7/10.

Against San Bernardino County at 53.3%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.6/10.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the San Bernardino County average of 6.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $85,579.

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.
