Japantown Eviction Risk: High , San Francisco

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. At $1,461 a month, rents run 41% under what the rest of San Francisco commands.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

32% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the San Francisco County average of 37.3%. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Francisco.

Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the San Francisco County average of 9.5 closely.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $83,162.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
