Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Little Portugal

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 75% 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.

It sits 1.9 points above the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $58,956.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
