· range 4.9–4.9
Upton maps to a single census tract in French Valley, CA and houses 9,896 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The voucher gap is 44.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Average gross rent is $3,341, 7% above the French Valley average of $3,119. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of French Valley, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.
Only 25% 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 Dutch Village and Willow.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $144,313.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
