Sequoia Tract is a 5-tract neighborhood of Redwood City, CA and houses 20,575 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, Elevated tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 4.9 to 7.3. A 2.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Cost burden runs around a third against 28.4% citywide, putting Sequoia Tract 7.1% over its own city. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate.
5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $3,227 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Redwood City commands. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
