Piedmont Pines Eviction Risk: High

The strongest single driver of the headline number 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 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. about a quarter of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Oakland rate of 30.6%. 3.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Oakland, it ranks #41 by risk, the lower third.

At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Lakeshore and Glenview score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 8.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
