Civic Center Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 8,736 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Civic Center spans 2 census tracts of San Francisco, CA and houses 8,736 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.9/10, in the High tier. Against a San Francisco baseline of 25.1%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 10/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 10/10. 89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of San Francisco, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,574, close to the San Francisco average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $121,249.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
