Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Branham
On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $2,260 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of San Jose commands. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 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.
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.
