Hensley Historic District is a 2-tract neighborhood of San Jose, CA and houses 8,560 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.4/10, in the High tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the San Jose rate of 30.1%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10.
The severe-burden share is 21%. 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 tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.9 to 9.9, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of San Jose, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third.
Average gross rent runs $2,595, close to the San Jose average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $127,457.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
