Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Del Mar Heights

It sits 2.1 points below the San Diego County average of 7.6. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Food insecurity runs 4.4% against 17.8% nationally.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

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.
