Hoover-Foster takes in 3 census tracts of Oakland, CA and houses 10,830 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.8/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 30.6% citywide, putting Hoover-Foster 19.2% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 24.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,827, 8% below the Oakland average of $1,979.
That places it #23 of 45 neighborhoods in Oakland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Civic Center and Elmhurst.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $91,008.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
