Las Playas Eviction Risk: Moderate , Carlsbad

roughly two in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the San Diego County average of 52.5%. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 25% above the Carlsbad average.

Food insecurity runs 5.0% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 4.4% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
