Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Funk Zone
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $51,493, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Against the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,743, 28% below the Santa Barbara average.
On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 51.2% across Santa Barbara County. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
That is riskier than roughly 96% 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 1.7 points hotter.
