Analysis

What drives eviction risk in San Tomas

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 19.4% against 31.5% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #6,330 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
