La Jolla Mesa Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Diego

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 5.8% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
