Newhall Eviction Risk: Moderate , Santa Clarita

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.8 points. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. At $3,279 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Santa Clarita commands. The voucher gap is 24.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $163,636.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
