Poway Portals Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 14,611 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 6.5–7.5

Poway Portals spans 3 census tracts of San Diego, CA and houses 14,611 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a San Diego baseline of 32.4%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 7.5, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.6/10.

4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $2,549, 10% above the San Diego average of $2,313. Among the 89 mapped neighborhoods of San Diego, it ranks #79 by risk, the lower third.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $127,435. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
