Communications Hill Eviction Risk: High , San Jose

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $60,119 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points. 73% 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.

At $1,989 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of San Jose commands. SNAP participation runs 22.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 24.9% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Jose. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
