Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Golden Hill

Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $56,931, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.4/10.

This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,830, 21% below the San Diego average.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
