East End Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 38% against 27.9% citywide, putting East End 10.0% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Alameda, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $2,452, close to the Alameda average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $129,834.

48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 7.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
