The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.1/10. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely. Average gross rent is $2,765, close to the Redwood City average.

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.
