Analysis

What drives eviction risk in College Park

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

It sits 0.9 points above the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $2,708, close to the San Jose average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $136,250.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
