Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Berryessa

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. 29% 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. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 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 6%, 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. Average gross rent is $2,870, close to the San Jose average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $182,773. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
