Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bedford Square

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10.

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Disability prevalence runs 19.0% against 31.5% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $234,375, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the housing type and transport 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. Average gross rent is $3,237, close to the Sunnyvale 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.
