Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Core-Columbia

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 52.5% across San Diego County. Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $58,140, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.8/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.
