Belmont Eviction Risk: Elevated

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

Average gross rent is $3,501, 22% above the Belmont average. Housing insecurity runs 5.2% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% 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 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters. It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely.

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