San Carlos Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.1/10. Against the San Mateo County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. At $3,194 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of San Carlos commands. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $224,219, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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