Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Potrero Terrace

82% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the San Francisco County average of 37.3%. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. 87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Set annual rent against average income of $53,800 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,840, 26% below the San Francisco average.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 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 household composition measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
