The Palms maps to a single census tract in Concord, CA and houses 5,515 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. 41% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Concord baseline of 36.2%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. At $2,418 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Concord commands.
Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Concord, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Only 28% 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. For a like-for-like read, Penny Lane and Wisteria score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $105,858.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
