Meadowfair spans 10 census tracts of San Jose, CA, population 49,823. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.2/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 30.1% citywide, putting Meadowfair 26.3% over its own city.
34% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
The 10 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.3 to 9.9, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Average gross rent is $2,898, 9% above the San Jose average of $2,669.
That places it #13 of 36 neighborhoods in San Jose. For a like-for-like read, Qmunity District and Notting Hill - Royal Crest score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $124,315. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 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.
