Fruitvale takes in 4 census tracts of Oakland, CA and houses 20,269 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, High tier. Against a Oakland baseline of 30.6%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. 34% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
73% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
At $1,603 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Oakland commands. 19.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Oakland, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Clinton and Seminary Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
