Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Golden Hill

Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 79% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $53,643 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

It sits 2.3 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.4/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.3% against 11.3% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. At $1,839 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of San Diego commands.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
