Marina Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,883 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.5/10 · range 8.5–8.5

Marina maps to a single census tract in San Diego, CA, population 3,883. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.5/10, in the High tier. 75% 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.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for around a third of renter households. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,995, 14% below the San Diego average of $2,313.

The severe-burden share is 8%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. That places it #30 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. The closest comparables inside the same city are San Pasqual Valley and Western Hills.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $86,250.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
