Harmon Tract Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 2,663 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.6/10 · range 8.6–8.6

Harmon Tract maps to a single census tract in Berkeley, CA, population 2,663. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.6/10, placing it in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

At $1,396 a month, rents sit 35% under what the rest of Berkeley commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. Against a Berkeley baseline of 34.0%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. That places it #15 of 22 neighborhoods in Berkeley.

Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
