Kensington Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Diego

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.7/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $166,605, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
