Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Cliffs

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,107, 9% below the San Diego average.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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.
