Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Fair Oaks

72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against the San Mateo County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 25.6% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 21.8% against 14.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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.
