La Jolla Colony Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Diego

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 60% here against 52.5% across San Diego County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $2,810, 21% above the San Diego average.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
