Carlton Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated

8 census tracts · pop 28,889 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 5.2–7.2

Carlton Hills is a 8-tract neighborhood of Santee, CA, population 28,889. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, Elevated tier. Against a Santee baseline of 40.3%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 5.2 to 7.2. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. Only 26% 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.

Average gross rent runs $2,364, close to the Santee average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $110,902.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
