The Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 10,600 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.3–5.8

The Grove spans 2 census tracts of Livermore, CA, population 10,600. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Livermore rate of 32.9%.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10.

Average gross rent is $2,291, 14% below the Livermore average of $2,677. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #6 of 8 neighborhoods in Livermore. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
