La Loma Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Berkeley, CA and houses 3,854 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Berkeley rate of 34.0%. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.
Food insecurity affects 5.2% of adults, 12.6 points below the national rate. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
SNAP participation is 4.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,284, 7% above the Berkeley average of $2,133. That places it #16 of 22 neighborhoods in Berkeley.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Claremont and Northbrae score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $228,547, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 8/10 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.
