Ellis maps to a single census tract in Perris, CA and houses 5,847 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, Elevated tier. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,359, 28% below the Perris average of $1,876. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Cost burden runs 41% against 33.3% citywide, putting Ellis 7.3% over its own city.
17% 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. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.
Food insecurity affects 33.0% of adults, 15.2 points above the national rate. 21.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Perris, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Westerly Place and Vista Creek score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $81,250.
One tract means one number: 7.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
