Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Del Mar Heights

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,897, 25% above the San Diego average. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. 13% 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 3.2% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, 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. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $156,184. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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