Broadway Heights takes in 7 census tracts of San Diego, CA and houses 37,276 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.8/10, in the High tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the San Diego rate of 32.4%.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 7.3 to 9.9. A 2.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. At $2,005 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of San Diego commands.
Among the 89 mapped neighborhoods of San Diego, it ranks #23 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bay Park and Loma Portal.
