South Prescott takes in 2 census tracts of Oakland, CA, population 2,387. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.9/10, placing it in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Average gross rent is $2,520, 27% above the Oakland average of $1,979. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
That places it #1 of 45 neighborhoods in Oakland. For a like-for-like read, San Pablo Gateway and Seminary Park score within a fraction of it.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $111,893.
60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 9.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
