Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Strawberry Square
Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
75% 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. Cost burden runs 54% here against 43.5% across Santa Clara County. It sits 1.9 points above the Santa Clara County average of 8.0.
Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. At $2,431 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of San Jose commands. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $114,188.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
