Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cow Hollow

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Food insecurity runs 5.4% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 4.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,949, 19% above the San Francisco average. Cost burden runs 32% here against 37.3% across San Francisco County. It sits 0.7 points below the San Francisco County average of 9.5.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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.
