San Mateo Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Against San Mateo County at 44.9%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Adults with no health insurance runs 2.7% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $3,501, 14% above the San Mateo average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $237,188, annual rent is just 18%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
