· range 6.3–8.1
San Fernando Mall takes in 3 census tracts of San Fernando, CA, population 16,730. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a San Fernando baseline of 40.2%, 68% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 8.1, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. Food insecurity affects 30.4% of adults, 12.6 points above the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,642, 6% below the San Fernando average of $1,748.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $86,701.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
