Plum Canyon Eviction Risk: Moderate , Santa Clarita

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.8 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. 65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. At $3,177 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Santa Clarita commands. The voucher gap is 21.0%: 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. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 15% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
