Vista Creek takes in 4 census tracts of Perris, CA, population 18,144. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.4/10, in the Elevated tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Perris rate of 33.3%.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.
Food insecurity affects 34.2% of adults, 16.4 points above the national rate. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 6.8 to 7.9. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
At $1,719 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Perris commands. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Perris, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Westerly Place and Ellis.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $74,040.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
