Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mid-City

It sits 2.2 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.4/10. 63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the San Diego County average of 52.5%.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

At $1,844 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of San Diego commands. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $75,729.

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