Park Place Ranchwood maps to a single census tract in Lake Forest, CA and houses 4,272 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 56% 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.
Against a Lake Forest baseline of 34.1%, 64% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $3,501, 31% above the Lake Forest average of $2,672.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.
The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
On the high side is supply constraint at 7.1/10. That places it #5 of 9 neighborhoods in Lake Forest.
At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lower Heatherview and Lake Park West. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $170,755.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 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.
