Guajome is a 5-tract quarter of Oceanside, CA, population 27,806. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, Elevated tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Oceanside rate of 34.5%.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.7 to 8.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. 22% 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.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. At $2,759 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Oceanside commands.
That places it #8 of 10 neighborhoods in Oceanside. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Ocean Hills and Talich score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $125,434.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
