Goleta Eviction Risk: High

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $1,758, 28% below the Goleta average. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Santa Barbara County average of 51.2%.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Nationally it ranks #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $88,869.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
