Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Top of the Hill

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $74,049, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $2,054, 19% below the Daly City average. Against the San Mateo County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Against San Mateo County at 44.9%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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