Copper Hill spans 3 census tracts of Santa Clarita, CA and houses 18,042 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Santa Clarita baseline of 35.8%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. At $2,955 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Santa Clarita commands. The voucher gap is 12.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Santa Clarita, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Sand Canyon and Plum Canyon. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $143,753. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
