Baumberg is a 6-tract neighborhood of Hayward, CA, population 22,512. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Hayward rate of 31.9%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 6.9 to 9.2. A 2.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. At $2,566 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Hayward commands.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $102,101.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
