Sunnyvale Eviction Risk: Elevated

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. SNAP participation runs 3.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Average gross rent is $3,501, 15% above the Sunnyvale average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition 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. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $222,625.

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.
