Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Little Portugal

Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Average gross rent is $1,817, 32% below the San Jose average.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $65,893, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Food insecurity runs 29.7% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 25.8% against 15.2% nationally.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
