Valencia Park Eviction Risk: High , San Diego

Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 79% of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $45,362, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. It sits 2.3 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. Food insecurity runs 36.8% against 17.8% nationally.

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,718 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of San Diego commands.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Diego. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
