The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $3,501, 15% above the Sunnyvale average.

It sits 0.8 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $140,096. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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