Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Los Gatos

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.2/10. Food insecurity runs 4.5% against 17.8% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.5% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. 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.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
