Escaya is a one-tract neighborhood of Chula Vista, CA and houses 16,008 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Chula Vista baseline of 35.4%, 72% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Average gross rent is $2,829, 27% above the Chula Vista average of $2,229. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. That places it #14 of 16 neighborhoods in Chula Vista. Only 23% 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.
For a like-for-like read, Wolf Canyon and Eastlake score within a fraction of it. 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 $139,464.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
