· range 9.9–9.9
Temescal maps to a single census tract in Oakland, CA, population 5,537. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.9/10, in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.
Against a Oakland baseline of 30.6%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. 82% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,198, 11% above the Oakland average of $1,979. 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. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $95,479.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
