Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Walnut Creek
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 214 evictions over 13 years of observation.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.5% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
