Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Milpitas

It sits 1.5 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,942, close to the Milpitas average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $185,711. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
