Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Spartan Keyes

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. At $1,659 a month, rents run 38% under what the rest of San Jose commands. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Santa Clara County average of 8.0.

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Food insecurity runs 25.7% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Jose. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
