Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. The voucher gap is 13.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $2,616 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Murrieta commands.
That places it #2 of 8 neighborhoods in Murrieta. Only 23% 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. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $103,185.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
