65 Block Eviction Risk: Elevated , Isla Vista

At $2,725 a month, rents run 79% over what the rest of University of California-Santa Barbara commands. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $75,875, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Santa Barbara County average of 51.2%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #13,349 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.

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