Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mid-City

Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.1/10.

The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. At $1,755 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of San Diego commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 57% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. SNAP participation runs 23.8% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. 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 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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