Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bedford Square

The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.3/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $178,636, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,510 a month.

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.
