Santa Rosa Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Sonoma County average of 49.9%.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally.

The voucher gap is 13.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
