Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alta Vista

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,643, 29% below the San Diego average. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $96,563.

26% 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.
