Crescent Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Palo Alto

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. Against Santa Clara County at 43.5%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 4.6% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.1 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.5% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $3,501, close to the Palo Alto average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
