Menlo Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.6/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely. Average gross rent is $3,252, close to the Menlo Park average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $149,669.

57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
