Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunnyvale

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.7 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters. Average gross rent is $2,985, close to the Sunnyvale average.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $128,875. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
