Branham takes in 7 census tracts of San Jose, CA, population 33,631. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.7/10, High tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the San Jose rate of 30.1%.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10. That places it #23 of 36 neighborhoods in San Jose.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 7 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,518, close to the San Jose average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $145,509. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
