Analysis

What drives eviction risk in San Bruno

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.1/10. At $3,186 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of San Bruno commands.

Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. Against the San Mateo County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $200,385.

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