Wilson Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

8 census tracts · pop 39,225 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 6.3–8.7

Wilson Park spans 8 census tracts of Cupertino, CA, population 39,225. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, Elevated tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.3 to 8.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Cupertino rate of 22.2%. 2.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 2.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.2/10. For a like-for-like read, Rancho Rinconada and Creston score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $218,506, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $3,335, close to the Cupertino average. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
