Hoover-Foster Eviction Risk: High , Oakland

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.7/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

It sits 2.1 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.5% across Alameda County. Food insecurity runs 28.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
