Pacific Melrose maps to a single census tract in Menifee, CA, population 5,821. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 52%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Menifee baseline of 39.5%, 72% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 26.7% of adults, 8.9 points above the national rate. At $1,936 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Menifee commands.
That places it #3 of 6 neighborhoods in Menifee. Only 17% 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. For a like-for-like read, Sun City and Romoland score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $85,917.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 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.
