Old Escondido Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 10,230 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9/10 · range 9–9

Old Escondido is a 2-tract neighborhood of Escondido, CA, population 10,230. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9/10, High tier. Severe burden reaches 45%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 69% against 36.5% citywide, putting Old Escondido 32.5% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. SNAP participation is 29.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 29.7% of adults, 11.9 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,861, 9% below the Escondido average of $2,046. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Escondido. The closest comparables inside the same city are Downtown and Los Arboles.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
