Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Santa Rosa

Against Sonoma County at 49.9%, 84% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $3,501, 63% above the Santa Rosa average.

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 27.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. Food insecurity runs 5.6% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.2% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 0.6 points below the Sonoma County average of 6.9. That is riskier than roughly 80% 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 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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