Westwood Park Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 10,481 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.7/10 · range 9.3–9.9

Westwood Park takes in 2 census tracts of San Francisco, CA and houses 10,481 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.7/10, in the High tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the San Francisco rate of 25.1%.

The strongest single driver of the headline number 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.

Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of San Francisco, it ranks #14 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Forest Knolls and Fisherman's Wharf score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,452, close to the San Francisco average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $142,701. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 9.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
