Rancho Carrillo Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 7,405 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4

Rancho Carrillo is a one-tract quarter of San Marcos, CA and houses 7,405 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.4/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a San Marcos baseline of 37.0%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. At $1,747 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of San Marcos commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.

The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in San Marcos.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Soltaire and Richland.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $74,026.

One tract means one number: 8.4/10 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.
