Manzanita Cove Eviction Risk: Elevated

8 census tracts · pop 27,346 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 5.4–8

Manzanita Cove is a 8-tract neighborhood of Encinitas, CA, population 27,346. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Encinitas baseline of 30.5%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.4 to 8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.

Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 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 Leucadia and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Average gross rent runs $2,845, close to the Encinitas average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $143,412. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
