Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mid-City

Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 75% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.1 points below the San Diego County average of 7.6.

At $2,325 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of La Mesa commands. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 20% 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. Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
