Albany Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of El Cerrito, CA and houses 4,410 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a El Cerrito baseline of 29.9%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.9 to 7.9, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
At $2,270 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of El Cerrito commands. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $96,597.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
