Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rio del Mar

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Santa Cruz County at 48.5%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.2/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Santa Cruz County average of 6.8. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.2/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.6% against 14.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% 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.
