Village of La Jolla Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 3,135 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 7.5–8.1

Village of La Jolla takes in 2 census tracts of San Diego, CA and houses 3,135 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the San Diego rate of 32.4%. Average gross rent is $3,083, 33% above the San Diego average of $2,313.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. Food insecurity affects 5.4% of adults, 12.4 points below the national rate.

2.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That places it #58 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. For a like-for-like read, La Jolla Heights and Serra Mesa score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $119,945. 60% 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.
