Ladera Piedra Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 12,621 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.6/10 · range 7.2–8.9

Ladera Piedra spans 3 census tracts of San Diego, CA, population 12,621. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Cost burden runs 42% against 32.4% citywide, putting Ladera Piedra 9.4% over its own city. 21% 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 7.2 to 8.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.

At $2,758 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of San Diego commands. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #59 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. 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 28% of average household income of $118,662. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
