Valencia Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 8,749 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.4/10 · range 6.4–6.4

Valencia maps to a single census tract in Stevenson Ranch, CA and houses 8,749 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, Elevated tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Stevenson Ranch rate of 34.0%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 20% 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. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,003, close to the Stevenson Ranch average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $144,876. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
