Adults with no health insurance runs 19.1% against 11.3% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.4% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,922, 9% above the San Jose average.

On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $125,561.

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.
