Paradise Hills Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 6,664 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4

Paradise Hills is a 2-tract suburb of National City, CA and houses 6,664 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, High tier. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the National City rate of 35.3%. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $2,048, 21% above the National City average of $1,692.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.3/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $88,902.

With little internal variation, 8.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
