South San Francisco Eviction Risk: Elevated

The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.4/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 25% above the South San Francisco average.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.1/10. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $181,397.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
