Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.6/10. Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.

Average gross rent is $3,325, close to the East Foothills average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $190,890.
