Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunnyvale

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. Against Santa Clara County at 43.5%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 1.0 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. At $3,501 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Sunnyvale commands.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.1% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.7% 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. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
