Poway Grove Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of San Diego, CA, population 10,581. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Cost burden runs 39% against 32.4% citywide, putting Poway Grove Park 6.7% over its own city. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. 3.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 7.1% of adults, 10.7 points below the national rate. Among the 89 mapped neighborhoods of San Diego, it ranks #73 by risk, the lower third.

At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are La Jolla Mesa and Rancho Peñasquitos.

Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
