Canyon Crest takes in 3 census tracts of Mission Viejo, CA, population 14,254. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Mission Viejo rate of 34.2%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. At $3,143 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Mission Viejo commands.
4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Mission Viejo, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 16% 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 Casta del Sol and Mallorca. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $160,002.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
