Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crescent Park
Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10. This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 38% here against 44.9% across San Mateo County.
It sits 0.8 points above the San Mateo County average of 7.0. Average gross rent is $2,009, 10% below the East Palo Alto average.
Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $114,877.
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.
