Rancho Rinconada Eviction Risk: Elevated

4 census tracts · pop 16,538 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.4/10 · range 6.3–8.3

Rancho Rinconada takes in 4 census tracts of Cupertino, CA, population 16,538. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.4/10, in the Elevated tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 8.3, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. Cost burden runs 30% against 22.2% citywide, putting Rancho Rinconada 7.5% over its own city.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 3.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $231,578, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $3,363, close to the Cupertino average.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
