Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South San Francisco

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $3,324, 19% above the South San Francisco average.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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