Rancho San Rafael takes in 3 census tracts of Glendale, CA, population 12,883. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Glendale rate of 37.8%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $2,895, 33% above the Glendale average of $2,182. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 10.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Glendale, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Sparr Heights and Emerald Isle score within a fraction of it.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
