Woodstock Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 9,818 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 7.5–8.6

Woodstock spans 2 census tracts of Alameda, CA and houses 9,818 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Alameda rate of 27.9%.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 7.5 to 8.6. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10. That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in Alameda.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $2,342, close to the Alameda average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $117,208.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
