Pacific Highlands Ranch Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Diego

At $3,501 a month, rents run 51% over what the rest of San Diego commands. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally.

59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the San Diego County average of 52.5%. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.

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