Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bostonia

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $56,154 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 78% 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.

63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the San Diego County average of 52.5%. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 27.8% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
