Hidden Valley maps to a single census tract in San Diego, CA and houses 3,048 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $3,501, 51% above the San Diego average of $2,313.
Cost burden runs 45% against 32.4% citywide, putting Hidden Valley 12.5% over its own city. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
Food insecurity affects 6.1% of adults, 11.7 points below the national rate. 3.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #59 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Kearny Mesa and Black Mountain Ranch score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 7.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
