Golden Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Diego

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Cost burden runs 47% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally. 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. Nationally it ranks #11,988 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Poverty sits at 4%, 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. Average gross rent is $2,188, close to the San Diego average. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $138,021.

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.
