The Highlands of Los Gatos Eviction Risk: High

The score leans hardest on 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.

At $3,501 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of San Jose commands. Food insecurity runs 6.1% against 17.8% nationally.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, 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.
