Wolf Creek Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,232 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Wolf Creek maps to a single census tract in Temecula, CA, population 5,232. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The voucher gap is 40.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $3,250 a month, rents sit 38% over what the rest of Temecula commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.1/10.

Cost burden runs 43% against 32.8% citywide, putting Wolf Creek 10.3% over its own city. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. 9% 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. Among the 19 mapped neighborhoods of Temecula, it ranks #10 by risk, the middle third.

Only 17% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Atria and Vail Ranch. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $140,333.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
