Santa Clara Eviction Risk: Elevated

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Average gross rent is $3,337, 11% above the Santa Clara average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, 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 $187,759.
