Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Vineyards
29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.2/10. Against the Santa Cruz County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.2/10. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 7% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.5 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.
