Kensington Square Eviction Risk: Elevated , Redwood City

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the San Mateo County average of 44.9%. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 18% above the Redwood City average. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 12% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 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.

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.
