Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Devonshire

Against San Mateo County at 44.9%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.1/10.

Average gross rent is $3,501, 23% above the San Carlos average. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 5.9% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the San Mateo County average of 7.0. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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