Little Baghdad Eviction Risk: High , El Cajon

Annualized rent equals 61% of average household income of $33,640, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation runs 42.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Cost burden runs 69% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.1/10.

81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.7 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 10/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,724, close to the El Cajon average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
