Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bedford Square

97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.0 points below the Santa Clara County average of 8.0. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Santa Clara County average of 43.5%.

On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,817, close to the Sunnyvale average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $165,213.

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.
