Sequoia Tract Eviction Risk: Elevated , Redwood City

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.1/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $222,875, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the San Mateo County average of 7.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $3,147, close to the Redwood City average. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
