Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Core-Columbia

Set annual rent against average income of $74,775 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the San Diego County average of 52.5%. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

At $2,581 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of San Diego commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
