Presidio Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of San Francisco, CA and houses 4,284 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9/10, High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 10/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 10/10.
Against a San Francisco baseline of 25.1%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 15% 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 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.6% 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 Anza Vista 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.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,516, close to the San Francisco average. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
