Wild Horse Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Prunedale, CA, population 7,505. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 65% against 28.5% citywide, putting Wild Horse Ranch 36.7% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. At $2,114 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Prunedale commands.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $112,556.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
