Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alta Vista

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.8/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Diego. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely. Average gross rent is $2,268, close to the San Diego average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $114,028. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
