Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alta Vista

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.4/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,836, 21% below the San Diego average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $82,594.

57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
