Santa Rosa Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs roughly three in four here against 49.9% across Sonoma County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $93,262, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 3.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,493, 16% above the Santa Rosa average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Sonoma County average of 6.9 closely. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
