Penny Lane Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 11,401 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 6.9–8

Penny Lane takes in 2 census tracts of Concord, CA and houses 11,401 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Concord rate of 36.2%.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2/10.

The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.9 to 8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

That places it #3 of 13 neighborhoods in Concord. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Palms and Wisteria.

Average gross rent runs $2,254, close to the Concord average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $113,817.

35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
