Avenida Espana Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,900 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.3/10 · range 8.3–8.3

Avenida Espana maps to a single census tract in San Jose, CA and houses 4,900 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.3/10, in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of San Jose commands.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little above the San Jose rate of 30.1%.

That places it #33 of 36 neighborhoods in San Jose. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $198,500.

One tract means one number: 8.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
