Canyon Crest is a 3-tract neighborhood of Riverside, CA, population 11,334. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Riverside rate of 34.0%.
32% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.2 to 7.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,099, 10% above the Riverside average of $1,914. That places it #18 of 30 neighborhoods in Riverside.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $98,502. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
