Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Burlingame

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally.

At $3,196 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Burlingame commands. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $166,522.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
