Petaluma Eviction Risk: Elevated

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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