Elmwood Eviction Risk: High , Berkeley

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. Cost burden runs 57% here against 45.5% across Alameda County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $2,049, close to the Berkeley average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $102,566.

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.
