Westridge maps to a single census tract in Portola Valley, CA, population 6,851. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Portola Valley baseline of 51.0%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Only 15% 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. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the Portola Valley average.
One tract means one number: 6.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
