Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Los Altos Hills

Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.6 points. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 2.7% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 8% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10.

Against average income of $239,435, annual rent is just 18%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 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. 40% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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