Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Meadowfair

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. Against Santa Clara County at 43.5%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $2,942, 10% above the San Jose average.

That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Poverty sits at 5%, 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. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $163,000.

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