Dimond District takes in 4 census tracts of Oakland, CA, population 18,945. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.5/10, in the High tier. Against a Oakland baseline of 30.6%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 31%. 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 eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 8.4 to 9.9. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. At $1,829 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Oakland commands.
Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Oakland, it ranks #29 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are 7th Street Historic District and Maxwell Park. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $93,511.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
