Honby spans 4 census tracts of Santa Clarita, CA and houses 20,542 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 35.8% citywide, putting Honby 21.3% over its own city.
28% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 5.6 to 7.4. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10. At $2,126 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Santa Clarita commands. That places it #4 of 10 neighborhoods in Santa Clarita.
At 20% 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 Stevenson Ranch and Saugus. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $103,608.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
