Sabre Springs Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,933 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.3/10 · range 8.3–8.3

Sabre Springs maps to a single census tract in San Diego, CA and houses 3,933 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.3/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 65% against 32.4% citywide, putting Sabre Springs 32.5% over its own city.

38% 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 main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Average gross rent is $2,172, 6% below the San Diego average of $2,313. That places it #40 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego.

For a like-for-like read, Beach Barber Tract and Eureka Lemon score within a fraction of it. 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 26% of average household income of $99,048.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 8.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
