Burlingame Hills is a 3-tract neighborhood of Burlingame, CA and houses 17,266 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.3 to 7.3, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Burlingame baseline of 27.8%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Average gross rent is $3,035, 9% above the Burlingame average of $2,785. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3 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.
