On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10. At $2,719 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Sunnyvale commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
