Santa Clara Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.9 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Jose. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

46% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $3,162, close to the Santa Clara average.

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.
