Westside is a 4-tract neighborhood of Escondido, CA and houses 17,325 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.9/10, Elevated tier. 62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Escondido rate of 36.5%.
Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10.
Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 6.9 to 9. A 2.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Escondido. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,980, close to the Escondido average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $88,213. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
