Newark Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.4 points. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.

The voucher gap is 30.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10.

At $3,501 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Newark commands. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
