· range 6.7–8.4
Mulford spans 4 census tracts of San Leandro, CA and houses 20,456 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 32.5% citywide, putting Mulford 14.6% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.7 to 8.4, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $2,121, close to the San Leandro average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $105,524. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
