Riviera Shores spans 9 census tracts of San Diego, CA, population 24,655. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.2/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 32.4% citywide, putting Riviera Shores 12.9% over its own city.
76% 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. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Disability prevalence reaches 19.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #44 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. Its 9 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $2,364, close to the San Diego average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $112,692.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
