Almaden Valley Eviction Risk: High

Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a San Jose baseline of 30.1%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $3,153, 18% above the San Jose average of $2,669.

2.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of San Jose, it ranks #33 by risk, the lower third.

At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Silver Creek and Avenida Espana.

Against average income of $247,636, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
