Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Normal Heights

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely. Average gross rent is $2,231, close to the San Diego average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $131,619. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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