8 census tracts · pop 36,325 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10
· range 5.9–7.7
Devonshire spans 8 census tracts of San Carlos, CA, population 36,325. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 26.1% citywide, putting Devonshire 15.1% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.9 to 7.7, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,852, close to the San Carlos average. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
