Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chinatown

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10.

78% 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. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Francisco. 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 #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
