Oceana is a 4-tract neighborhood of Oceanside, CA and houses 14,186 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, High tier. Against a Oceanside baseline of 34.5%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $64,537 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
At $1,926 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Oceanside commands. That places it #1 of 10 neighborhoods in Oceanside.
Its 4 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
