Burbank is a unincorporated community in Santa Clara County, California.

For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Burbank as a census-designated place (CDP).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2), all of it land.

The Burbank District is roughly defined as an unincorporated area along Bascom Avenue between West San Carlos Street and Interstate 280.

There were 1,982 housing units at an average density of 4,916.1 per square mile (1,898.1/km2), of which 823 (43.8%) were owner-occupied, and 1,054 (56.2%) were occupied by renters.

[23] The area has been defined by several political entities since 1906 beginning with the Burbank School District, and shortly afterward the Burbank Fire District, which expanded the community far beyond its traditional, political and unofficial boundaries.

Established in 1940, the Sanitary District is the only local government, other than LBSD, specific to the neighborhood.

The District is governed by a Board of five members, elected to four-year terms, which meets monthly.

[24] Sewer services are provided to other unincorporated areas of the Burbank Community by the West Valley Sanitation District, an independent sanitation district that also services neighboring cities and unincorporated areas.

Sewage treatment is provided by the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant a joint powers agency of which both districts are members.

[26] The second Burbank fire station, sold in the late 1970s, is on the northeast corner of Scott Street and Flagg Avenue.

The unusually-high garage door is the only clue today that the residence was once a fire station.

The Burbank Business Circle is the name of a unique San Jose owned roadway that runs through the parking lot of the shopping center on the southwest corner of Bascom Avenue and Stevens Creek Blvd.
