Whisper Ridge takes in 2 census tracts of Yucaipa, CA, population 8,896. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 31.1% citywide, putting Whisper Ridge 11.7% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,161, 32% below the Yucaipa average of $1,711. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
Only 7% 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. Rent takes 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 4.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
