What drives eviction risk in Cole Valley

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. Cost burden runs about a quarter here against 37.3% across San Francisco County.

This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Disability prevalence runs 18.0% against 31.5% nationally. At $2,908 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of San Francisco commands.

Housing insecurity runs 5.8% against 14.2% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Francisco. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $200,357, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
