Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Little Portugal

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.6/10. 74% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Cost burden runs 46% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. Average gross rent is $1,911, 17% below the San Diego average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Diego. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #3,797 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
