· range 5.4–6.5
Contempo takes in 11 census tracts of Union City, CA, population 47,260. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Union City rate of 28.8%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 11 constituent tracts range from 5.4 to 6.5. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The voucher gap is 11.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $2,997 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Union City commands. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $160,467.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
