Serrano Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Moreno Valley, CA, population 11,053. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.6/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.5 to 7.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
38% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. That places it #7 of 8 neighborhoods in Moreno Valley. Only 18% 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 Summerfield and Belvedere Heights. Average gross rent runs $2,074, close to the Moreno Valley average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $120,835.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
