Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Cliffs

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally.

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 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2/10 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. It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely.

Average gross rent is $2,297, close to the San Diego average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $131,159. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
