Clinton Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 7,294 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Clinton is a 2-tract neighborhood of Oakland, CA, population 7,294. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.9/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 30.6% citywide, putting Clinton 15.7% over its own city.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. 88% 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.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,556, 21% below the Oakland average of $1,979. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Oakland, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Seminary Park and San Pablo Gateway score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 9.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
