Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Montecito

Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 1.8/10. Against the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.

Food insecurity runs 4.6% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.7/10. The voucher gap is 15.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Adults with no health insurance runs 2.7% against 11.3% nationally. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

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.
