Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Milpitas

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10.

66% 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. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10.

It sits 1.5 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
