San Mateo Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 6.3% against 14.2% nationally.

At $3,501 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of San Mateo commands. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 14% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.9/10.

Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is just 17%. 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. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters.

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