Richmond Annex Eviction Risk: Elevated

7 census tracts · pop 29,209 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 6.1–9.2

Richmond Annex spans 7 census tracts of El Cerrito, CA, population 29,209. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the El Cerrito rate of 29.9%.

Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 6.1 to 9.2. A 3.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 22% 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.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.6/10. At $2,161 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of El Cerrito commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $108,329. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 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.
