La Jolla Colony is a 6-tract neighborhood of San Diego, CA, population 24,087. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.2/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 32.4% citywide, putting La Jolla Colony 17.2% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.4 to 9.9, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.
The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,649, 15% above the San Diego average of $2,313.
5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 89 mapped neighborhoods of San Diego, it ranks #15 by risk, the upper third.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $108,081. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
