Normal Heights Eviction Risk: High
9 census tracts · pop 31,660 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.2/10 · range 7.8–9.9
Normal Heights takes in 9 census tracts of San Diego, CA, population 31,660. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.2/10, in the High tier. Against a San Diego baseline of 32.4%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. 73% 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. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The 9 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.8 to 9.9, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. At $1,851 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of San Diego commands.
Among the 89 mapped neighborhoods of San Diego, it ranks #15 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Asian Pacific Thematic Historic District and La Jolla Colony.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $78,949.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
