7 census tracts · pop 37,271 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.5/10
· range 5.4–7
Decoto spans 7 census tracts of Union City, CA, population 37,271. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Union City rate of 28.8%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.4 to 7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Average gross rent runs $2,762, close to the Union City average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $140,654. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
