Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chinatown

60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the San Francisco County average of 37.3%. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

At $610 a month, rents run 75% under what the rest of San Francisco commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Set annual rent against average income of $17,569 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 36.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Disability prevalence runs 45.1% against 31.5% nationally. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
