Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Strawberry Square

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Santa Clara County average of 43.5%. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $183,773, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.

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