The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10.

Disability prevalence runs 18.3% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.
