Temple Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,204 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.8/10 · range 5.8–5.8

Temple maps to a single census tract in Poway, CA and houses 4,204 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Poway baseline of 32.7%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10. That places it #3 of 9 neighborhoods in Poway. For a like-for-like read, Parkway Business Centre and Valle Del Norte 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. Average gross rent runs $2,309, close to the Poway average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $98,403.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
