Wolf Canyon is a one-tract neighborhood of Chula Vista, CA, population 8,215. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 35.4% citywide, putting Wolf Canyon 21.8% over its own city.
36% 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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $2,756, 24% above the Chula Vista average of $2,229.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. That places it #14 of 16 neighborhoods in Chula Vista. The closest comparables inside the same city are Escaya and Eastlake.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $145,256. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
