Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Broadway Heights

It sits 2.0 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Set annual rent against average income of $84,622 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

Only 20% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Average gross rent is $2,274, close to the San Diego average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
