· range 8.1–9.8
Golden Gate takes in 5 census tracts of Emeryville, CA and houses 16,005 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.1/10, in the High tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Emeryville rate of 29.6%. 67% 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. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.1 to 9.8, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
At $2,579 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Emeryville commands. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $119,389.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
