LeConte is a one-tract neighborhood of Berkeley, CA and houses 7,198 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, in the High tier. 51% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Cost burden runs 68% against 34.0% citywide, putting LeConte 33.6% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 49%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Set annual rent against average household income of $60,625 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. That places it #1 of 22 neighborhoods in Berkeley.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Northside and Southside. Average gross rent runs $2,183, close to the Berkeley average.
One tract means one number: 9.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
