Del Mar Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Diego

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $3,009, 30% above the San Diego average.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally.

8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #11,988 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.

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.
