Longfellow is a 2-tract neighborhood of Emeryville, CA and houses 10,291 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.6/10, High tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.
Cost burden runs 40% against 29.6% citywide, putting Longfellow 10.2% over its own city. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.4/10.
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. Average gross rent is $2,163, 26% below the Emeryville average of $2,936.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $128,802.
With little internal variation, 9.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
