Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rolando

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the San Diego County average of 52.5%.

The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $1,711, 16% below the La Mesa average.
