Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cambria

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,515, 21% below the Cambria average.

Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the San Luis Obispo County average of 6.5 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
