Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakland

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. Food insecurity runs 31.8% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 25.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Against Alameda County at 45.5%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
