Pedro Valley Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 6,427 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 6.8–6.8

Pedro Valley maps to a single census tract in Pacifica, CA, population 6,427. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Pacifica rate of 30.6%.

The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10. At $2,373 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Pacifica commands.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.

Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. 4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Pacifica, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Vallemar and Pacific Manor. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 6.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
