Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ocean Beach

This is renter territory: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. It sits 1.3 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10. 58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the San Diego County average of 52.5%.

Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. 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.

Nationally it ranks #4,393 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
