Santa Teresa Eviction Risk: High

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $3,071 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of San Jose commands.

Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of San Jose, it ranks #28 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Branham and Parkview score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $164,826. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 8.6/10 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.
