Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alta Vista

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Diego. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 56% of renters.

It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely. Average gross rent is $2,314, close to the San Diego average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
