Lakeshore Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,008 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.7/10 · range 8.7–8.7

Lakeshore maps to a single census tract in Oakland, CA, population 4,008. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.7/10, High tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Average gross rent is $2,338, 18% above the Oakland average of $1,979.

Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate. 3.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #40 of 45 neighborhoods in Oakland.

For a like-for-like read, Rockridge and Jack London Square score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
