Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Panoramic Hill

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 56%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10.

87% 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. Against Alameda County at 45.5%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 2.1 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8. SNAP participation runs 29.3% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 29.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,895, 11% below the Berkeley average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10. 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.
