South Oceanside spans 4 census tracts of Oceanside, CA and houses 19,058 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Oceanside rate of 34.5%.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Average gross rent is $2,163, 6% below the Oceanside average of $2,303. That places it #8 of 10 neighborhoods in Oceanside.
For a like-for-like read, The Knolls of Calavera Hills and Shefield score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $101,252. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
