What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. At $2,135 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of San Jose commands.
That places it #1 of 36 neighborhoods in San Jose. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $81,197.
