Financial District Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 1,828 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Financial District maps to a single census tract in Oakland, CA, population 1,828. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, in the High tier. Annualized rent equals 56% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Oakland rate of 30.6%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

This is a renter market: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

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 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,907, close to the Oakland average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
