Evergreen spans 6 census tracts of San Jose, CA, population 27,692. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 30.1% citywide, putting Evergreen 24.5% over its own city.
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.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Average gross rent is $3,212, 20% above the San Jose average of $2,669.
4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That places it #30 of 36 neighborhoods in San Jose.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Alviso and Alum Rock.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 6 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $185,370.
With little internal variation, 8.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
