Spartan Keyes Eviction Risk: High

3 census tracts · pop 12,569 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Spartan Keyes takes in 3 census tracts of San Jose, CA and houses 12,569 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, High tier. Against a San Jose baseline of 30.1%, 64% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

37% 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. At $1,538 a month, rents sit 42% under what the rest of San Jose commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 26.4% of adults, 8.6 points above the national rate.

That places it #1 of 36 neighborhoods in San Jose. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 3 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $68,183.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
