Leucadia is a one-tract suburb of Encinitas, CA and houses 5,723 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Encinitas rate of 30.5%.
25% 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. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,403, 17% below the Encinitas average of $2,886.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Encinitas, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Manzanita Cove and Cardiff-by-the-Sea.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $124,833. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
