Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riviera
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Santa Barbara County at 51.2%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.
Against average income of $164,803, annual rent is just 18%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0 closely. Average gross rent is $2,406, close to the Santa Barbara average.
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.
