Seminary Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Oakland, CA and houses 7,456 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.9/10, placing it in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 47%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Oakland baseline of 30.6%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Average gross rent is $1,121, 43% below the Oakland average of $1,979.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 34.1% of adults, 16.3 points above the national rate. 16.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
That places it #1 of 45 neighborhoods in Oakland. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $46,786.
One tract means one number: 9.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
