What drives eviction risk in Kensington Square
86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Set annual rent against average income of $96,591 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.1/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. Against the San Mateo County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Average gross rent is $2,719, 8% below the Redwood City average.
On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
