Porterville Eviction Risk: High

Food insecurity runs 47.5% against 17.8% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.5% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $799 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Porterville commands. It sits 1.5 points above the Tulare County average of 6.9.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 10/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $54,771, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

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.
