SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Of its three components the household composition 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. Average gross rent is $3,216, close to the Santa Clara average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
