Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Grossmont

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $59,313 and the ratio lands at 48%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 95% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Average gross rent is $2,384, 16% above the La Mesa average. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 22.2% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #3,797 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.
