Oak Knoll takes in 6 census tracts of San Marino, CA, population 27,141. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, Elevated tier. Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 5.1 to 7.8. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the San Marino rate of 27.8%. Average gross rent is $2,459, 30% below the San Marino average of $3,501. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
4.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $141,076. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
