Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Milpitas

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0.

49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Santa Clara County average of 43.5%. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $2,960, close to the Milpitas average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $156,629.

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