Sycamore Canyon/Canyon Springs is a 3-tract neighborhood of Riverside, CA, population 12,395. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.4/10, in the Elevated tier. 39% 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.
Cost burden runs 71% against 34.0% citywide, putting Sycamore Canyon/Canyon Springs 37.1% over its own city. Set annual rent against average household income of $83,445 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.9 to 8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10.
Average gross rent is $2,281, 19% above the Riverside average of $1,914. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7/10. That places it #7 of 30 neighborhoods in Riverside.
For a like-for-like read, Magnolia Center and Arlington Heights score within a fraction of it. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
