· range 7.9–8
Seaside spans 3 census tracts of Oceanside, CA and houses 7,794 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. Against a Oceanside baseline of 34.5%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
68% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
At $1,881 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Oceanside commands. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Oceanside, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $77,669.
With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
