Milpitas Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10.

It sits 1.4 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally.

At $3,501 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Milpitas commands. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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