Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hayward Corner

Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 84 evictions over 5 years of observation.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when 13.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 8.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
