The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 8.6, a 2.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $2,483 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of San Diego commands.
