Bostonia Eviction Risk: High , El Cajon

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $46,737, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.1/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Food insecurity runs 36.2% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.1/10.

Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. Housing insecurity runs 26.8% against 14.2% nationally. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the San Diego County average of 52.5%.

At $1,598 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of El Cajon commands. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
