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. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,531, 23% below the Oakland average of $1,979. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Oakland, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Clinton and Seminary Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $66,518.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
