South Encanto spans 4 census tracts of San Diego, CA, population 22,028. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.2/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 64% against 32.4% citywide, putting South Encanto 31.8% over its own city. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
Average gross rent is $1,761, 24% below the San Diego average of $2,313. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 8.3 to 9.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. SNAP participation is 24.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 27.4% of adults, 9.6 points above the national rate. That places it #15 of 89 neighborhoods in San Diego. The closest comparables inside the same city are Asian Pacific Thematic Historic District and La Jolla Colony.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $73,039.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
