Sea Summit Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 10,992 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.9/10 · range 5.8–8

Sea Summit spans 3 census tracts of San Clemente, CA and houses 10,992 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 33.6% citywide, putting Sea Summit 17.4% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.8 to 8, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.

Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of San Clemente, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Bay Cliff Village and Flora Vista score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $2,430, close to the San Clemente average.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $96,212.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
