Little Mogadishu takes in 14 census tracts of San Diego, CA and houses 68,238 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.8/10, High tier. 62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the San Diego rate of 32.4%.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $64,473 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,773, 23% below the San Diego average of $2,313. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. SNAP participation is 29.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
That places it #6 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego.
With little internal variation, 9.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
