Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Telegraph Hill

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10.

This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $3,022 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of San Francisco commands.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 37.3% across San Francisco County. Food insecurity runs 7.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the San Francisco County average of 9.5. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
