San Mateo Eviction Risk: Elevated

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Against San Mateo County at 44.9%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Food insecurity runs 6.9% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. At $2,713 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of San Mateo commands.

That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $225,326, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely.

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.
