· range 5.9–7.5
Rossmoor spans 3 census tracts of Walnut Creek, CA and houses 12,213 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. 40% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
64% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Walnut Creek rate of 30.6%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.9 to 7.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. SNAP participation is 3.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
2.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #5 of 9 neighborhoods in Walnut Creek. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Pleasant Valley and Walnut Heights. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,779, close to the Walnut Creek average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $147,500.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
