· range 8.3–9.9
Berryessa takes in 8 census tracts of San Jose, CA and houses 37,652 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.8/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a San Jose baseline of 30.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. 20% 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.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 8.3 to 9.9. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Average gross rent is $2,878, 8% above the San Jose average of $2,669.
That places it #20 of 36 neighborhoods in San Jose. The closest comparables inside the same city are College Park and Fruitdale.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $156,166.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
