The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Average gross rent is $2,370, 7% below the Santa Clarita average of $2,544. That places it #2 of 10 neighborhoods in Santa Clarita. For a like-for-like read, Newhall and Honby score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $104,070. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
