Cockatoo Grove is a 4-tract neighborhood of Chula Vista, CA and houses 18,120 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Chula Vista rate of 35.4%.
32% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.4 to 8.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $2,528, 13% above the Chula Vista average of $2,229.
That places it #10 of 16 neighborhoods in Chula Vista. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $127,597.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
