Ygnacio Hills maps to a single census tract in Walnut Creek, CA, population 5,994. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Walnut Creek baseline of 30.6%, 75% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate.
4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #1 of 9 neighborhoods in Walnut Creek.
Only 20% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Acalanes Ridge and Rossmoor. Average gross rent runs $2,735, close to the Walnut Creek average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $144,733.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.8/10 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.
