Analysis

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $3,501, 15% above the Sunnyvale average.
Housing insecurity runs 6.2% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0.

Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
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.
