Seacliff Eviction Risk: High

15 census tracts · pop 51,097 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.2/10 · range 8.7–9.9

Seacliff is a 15-tract neighborhood of San Francisco, CA, population 51,097. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.2/10, in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 10/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 10/10. Against a San Francisco baseline of 25.1%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

18% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 8.7 to 9.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 4.0% 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.

Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate. That places it #38 of 53 neighborhoods in San Francisco.

Average gross rent runs $2,542, close to the San Francisco average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $148,478. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
