Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West SoMa

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. Average gross rent is $1,460, 41% below the San Francisco average.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. 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. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $126,319, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 40% of renters. It tracks the San Francisco County average of 9.5 closely.
