Jingletown Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 5,072 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Jingletown is a one-tract neighborhood of Oakland, CA, population 5,072. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 30.6% citywide, putting Jingletown 26.3% 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. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

This is a renter market: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

SNAP participation is 31.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

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.
