Indian Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Lake Forest, CA, population 4,345. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Against a Lake Forest baseline of 34.1%, 73% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.

For a like-for-like read, Sycamore Creek and Portola Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
