Cragmont is a one-tract neighborhood of Berkeley, CA and houses 2,108 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. SNAP participation is 3.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

2.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $2,306, 8% above the Berkeley average of $2,133.

That places it #20 of 22 neighborhoods in Berkeley. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $244,276, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 7.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
