Saratoga Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.5 points. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.2/10. SNAP participation runs 3.1% against 15.2% nationally. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 4.2% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

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.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
