Communications Hill Eviction Risk: High , San Jose

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. At $3,501 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of San Jose commands. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
