Shadow Cliffs spans 2 census tracts of Pleasanton, CA and houses 11,790 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.2/10, Elevated tier. Against a Pleasanton baseline of 29.0%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
The voucher gap is 24.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.5/10. Food insecurity affects 7.6% of adults, 10.2 points below the national rate.
3.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. At $3,348 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Pleasanton commands.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Del Prado and Irby Ranch score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $179,459.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
