Little Italy Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Diego

At $3,029 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of San Diego commands. 73% 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.

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Disability prevalence runs 15.8% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. 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 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely.

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.
