Milpitas Eviction Risk: Elevated

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.3 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $3,413 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Milpitas commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
