Menifee Lakes takes in 4 census tracts of Menifee, CA, population 25,511. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 39.5% citywide, putting Menifee Lakes 17.0% over its own city.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 4.9 to 6.6. A 1.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
That places it #6 of 6 neighborhoods in Menifee. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,229, close to the Menifee average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $106,273.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 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.
