Diamond Heights Eviction Risk: High

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 10/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 10/10. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the San Francisco rate of 25.1%.

The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 6.7% of adults, 11.1 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $2,829, 14% above the San Francisco average of $2,476.

3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That places it #45 of 53 neighborhoods in San Francisco. For a like-for-like read, Balboa Terrace and Presidio Heights score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
