Parkmerced Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,035 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 6.6–6.6

Parkmerced maps to a single census tract in Daly City, CA and houses 4,035 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, Elevated tier. Against a Daly City baseline of 34.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

37% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Daly City commands. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.1/10.

3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Daly City, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $147,258.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
