Hunters Point Eviction Risk: High

3 census tracts · pop 9,850 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.8/10 · range 9.3–9.9

Hunters Point spans 3 census tracts of San Francisco, CA and houses 9,850 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.8/10, in the High tier. Against a San Francisco baseline of 25.1%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

At $1,112 a month, rents sit 55% under what the rest of San Francisco commands. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 10/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. 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 32.5% of adults, 14.7 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 15.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That places it #12 of 53 neighborhoods in San Francisco. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Against average income of $77,612, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.

63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
