Alviso is a one-tract suburb of San Jose, CA and houses 6,023 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Disability prevalence reaches 18.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. At $2,913 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of San Jose commands. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of San Jose, it ranks #30 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Alum Rock and Evergreen score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $145,857.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
