Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westside

Severe burden reaches 36%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. At $2,682 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Santa Barbara commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. It tracks the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $110,833. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
