Los Laureles is a one-tract neighborhood of San Diego, CA, population 5,228. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a San Diego baseline of 32.4%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. That places it #51 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Miramar Ranch North and Carmel Mountain Ranch.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,431, close to the San Diego average.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $104,630.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.9/10 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.
