Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gardner
Against Santa Clara County at 43.5%, roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $64,904 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Santa Clara County average of 8.0.
Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. SNAP participation runs 27.7% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Food insecurity runs 28.6% against 17.8% nationally. At $2,368 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of San Jose commands. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
