Claremont is a one-tract neighborhood of Berkeley, CA and houses 3,425 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Against a Berkeley baseline of 34.0%, 16% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,628, 23% above the Berkeley average of $2,133. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Food insecurity affects 5.1% of adults, 12.7 points below the national rate.
SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Berkeley, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third.
Against average income of $190,625, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
