LeConte Eviction Risk: High , Berkeley

Against Alameda County at 45.5%, 68% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $60,625, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. SNAP participation runs 23.0% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
