Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alamo Square

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $3,003, 21% above the San Francisco average.

Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

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 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 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 least pressured. It tracks the San Francisco County average of 9.5 closely.

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