Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Meadowfair

Severe burden reaches 36%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10.

It sits 1.9 points above the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $77,153, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Food insecurity runs 30.1% against 17.8% nationally.

At $2,128 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of San Jose commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.9% against 11.3% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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.
