Burlingame Eviction Risk: High

Against San Mateo County at 44.9%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the San Mateo County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $79,550, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.1/10. At $2,355 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Burlingame commands.
