Almaden Valley Eviction Risk: High , San Jose

What pushes it up most is 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.

Average gross rent is $3,501, 31% above the San Jose average. SNAP participation runs 3.8% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.6% 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 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

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.

It tracks the Santa Clara County average of 8.0 closely.
