Dogpatch Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,152 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.2/10 · range 9.2–9.2

Dogpatch maps to a single census tract in San Francisco, CA and houses 2,152 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.2/10, placing it in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 41% above the San Francisco average of $2,476.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 10/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Against a San Francisco baseline of 25.1%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

3.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of San Francisco, it ranks #38 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Parkside and Seacliff score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 9.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
