Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Emerald Valley
94% 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. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.3/10.
Housing insecurity runs 24.1% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 4,397 evictions over 5 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 53.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 52.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
