Grossmont Eviction Risk: Elevated , La Mesa

The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

Cost burden runs 62% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. At $1,583 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of La Mesa commands.

Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $72,500.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
