What drives eviction risk in Kensington
Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $70,571, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 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 nearby.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $2,129, close to the San Diego average.
