Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. On the high side, 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. At $2,744 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of San Diego commands.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 86th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.

It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $149,196. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
