Mapleton maps to a single census tract in Murrieta, CA and houses 4,504 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. 68% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Murrieta rate of 34.0%.
28% 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. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Murrieta, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower 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. For a like-for-like read, Greer Ranch and Bear Creek score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $150,746, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,426, close to the Murrieta average.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
