Stanford Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated , Menlo Park

Against San Mateo County at 44.9%, 32% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10.

Housing insecurity runs 4.6% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.5% against 11.3% nationally.

At $3,501 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Menlo Park commands. Nationally it ranks #11,988 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is just 17%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
