Willow Glen Place is a 4-tract quarter of San Jose, CA and houses 21,008 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.7/10, High tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 30.1% citywide, putting Willow Glen Place 19.0% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. 27% 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.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of San Jose, it ranks #23 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Little Italy and Parkview score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $2,816, close to the San Jose average. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
