Harbor Side maps to a single census tract in Chula Vista, CA, population 5,765. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, High tier. The severe-burden share is 44%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Chula Vista rate of 35.4%. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is a renter market: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,791, 20% below the Chula Vista average of $2,229. 20.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Chula Vista, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 9.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
