Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Creston

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 1.0 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. At $3,501 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Sunnyvale commands.

Against Santa Clara County at 43.5%, 48% of renters here are cost-burdened. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $216,042.

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