Castro Valley Eviction Risk: Elevated

This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10.

It sits 1.5 points below the Alameda County average of 7.8. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Alameda County average of 45.5%. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,567, close to the Castro Valley average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $105,329.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
