Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Dry Creek
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10.
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.
Average gross rent is $3,501, 31% above the San Jose average. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 5.8% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
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.
