Canyon Creek maps to a single census tract in Clayton, CA, population 4,397. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. At $1,939 a month, rents sit 45% under what the rest of Clayton commands.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Clayton rate of 33.0%. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate.
4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
