Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Devonshire

Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 1.4/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10.

Against San Mateo County at 44.9%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
