Stevenson Ranch Eviction Risk: Elevated

The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10.

At $2,969 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Santa Clarita commands. The voucher gap is 13.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.

That places it #5 of 10 neighborhoods in Santa Clarita. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Saugus and Honby. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 6.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
