Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oakland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

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.
