Westlake maps to a single census tract in Daly City, CA, population 6,277. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 34.1% citywide, putting Westlake 13.3% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $3,501, 37% above the Daly City average of $2,551. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
4.1% 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. That places it #7 of 7 neighborhoods in Daly City. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Outer Mission and Parkmerced score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $155,637.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
