Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Broadway Heights

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the San Diego County average of 52.5%.

It sits 1.6 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,872, 19% below the San Diego average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $83,644.

46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
