Mount Hope is a one-tract quarter of San Diego, CA and houses 4,415 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, High tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the San Diego rate of 32.4%.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Set annual rent against average household income of $66,711 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. 20.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $2,123 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of San Diego commands.
That places it #1 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 9.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
