Eureka Lemon Eviction Risk: High

3 census tracts · pop 19,415 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.3/10 · range 7.9–8.8

Eureka Lemon takes in 3 census tracts of San Diego, CA, population 19,415. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.3/10, in the High tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the San Diego rate of 32.4%.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. Among the 89 mapped neighborhoods of San Diego, it ranks #40 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Beach Barber Tract and Sabre Springs score within a fraction of it.

Its 3 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,303, close to the San Diego average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $111,829. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
