Ocean View Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated

4 census tracts · pop 21,704 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.8/10 · range 7.2–8.6

Ocean View Hills is a 4-tract neighborhood of San Diego, CA and houses 21,704 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a San Diego baseline of 32.4%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 7.2 to 8.6. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. At $2,753 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of San Diego commands. That places it #54 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego.

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 $119,349.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
