Fruitdale Eviction Risk: High , San Jose

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $2,235 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of San Jose commands.

Cost burden runs 39% here against 43.5% across Santa Clara County. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Santa Clara County average of 8.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
