Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West SoMa

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. 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 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against San Francisco County at 37.3%, 32% of renters here are cost-burdened.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #3,529 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6/10.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $178,125, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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