Colony takes in 2 census tracts of San Diego, CA and houses 9,467 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the San Diego rate of 32.4%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. At $2,947 a month, rents sit 27% over what the rest of San Diego commands. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.
3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 4.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #59 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $136,318.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
