Las Cadenas Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,564 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Las Cadenas is a one-tract neighborhood of Poway, CA, population 5,564. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Poway rate of 32.7%.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 25% 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 high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

At $2,447 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Poway commands. That places it #6 of 9 neighborhoods in Poway.

For a like-for-like read, Green Valley Summit and Sycamore Creek score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $141,361. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
