· range 5.1–9.4
Piedmont Avenue spans 4 census tracts of Oakland, CA, population 13,764. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 5.1 to 9.4. A 4.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Average gross rent is $2,744, 39% above the Oakland average of $1,979. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Food insecurity affects 6.9% of adults, 10.9 points below the national rate. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.
3.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #44 of 45 neighborhoods in Oakland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Upper Rockridge and Glenview.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $163,999.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
