Eastmont Eviction Risk: High

3 census tracts · pop 15,387 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Eastmont is a 3-tract neighborhood of Oakland, CA and houses 15,387 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.9/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 30.6% citywide, putting Eastmont 23.0% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation is 26.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 26.7% of adults, 8.9 points above the national rate. That places it #1 of 45 neighborhoods in Oakland.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Clinton and Seminary Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 3 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Average gross rent runs $2,096, close to the Oakland average.

With little internal variation, 9.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
