Cahuilla Hills maps to a single census tract in Palm Desert, CA and houses 1,440 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Palm Desert baseline of 37.0%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,600, 10% below the Palm Desert average of $1,778. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
