Harborview Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 7,196 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.9/10 · range 8.8–9

Harborview spans 2 census tracts of San Diego, CA, population 7,196. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.9/10, in the High tier. Against a San Diego baseline of 32.4%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. At $1,895 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of San Diego commands.

Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #21 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. The closest comparables inside the same city are Ocean Beach and Shelltown.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $94,229.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
