Telegraph Hill Eviction Risk: High

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 10/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 10/10.

This is a renter market: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Cost burden runs 34% against 25.1% citywide, putting Telegraph Hill 8.6% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 8.8 to 9.9. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

At $2,730 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of San Francisco commands. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #28 of 53 neighborhoods in San Francisco. The closest comparables inside the same city are Duboce Triangle and Polk Gulch.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $151,929.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.4 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.
