· range 8.5–9.9
Millsmont takes in 2 census tracts of Oakland, CA and houses 11,784 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9/10, in the High tier. Against a Oakland baseline of 30.6%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.5 to 9.9, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. That places it #35 of 45 neighborhoods in Oakland. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $145,057, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,016, close to the Oakland average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
