Five Points Eviction Risk: High , San Diego

It sits 2.0 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. Cost burden runs 41% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. At $1,849 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of San Diego commands. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Diego. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
