Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bostonia

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.1/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10.

57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the San Diego County average of 52.5%. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the San Diego County average of 7.6 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,964, close to the El Cajon average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $110,076.

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.
