Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Stanford Hills

The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 4.9% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 4.5% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $3,501, 8% above the Menlo Park average.

On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
