Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Qmunity District

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. 79% 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.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

Average gross rent is $2,965, 11% above the San Jose average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
