Top of the Hill takes in 10 census tracts of Daly City, CA and houses 47,423 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Daly City baseline of 34.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 10 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.8 to 8, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $2,236, 12% below the Daly City average of $2,551.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Daly City, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Serramonte and Bayshore.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $116,348. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
