What drives eviction risk in Foster City
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.1/10.
SNAP participation runs 4.3% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $246,750, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
