Hillsdale Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 7,357 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.4/10 · range 5.7–7

Hillsdale takes in 2 census tracts of Pleasant Hill, CA and houses 7,357 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 34.9% citywide, putting Hillsdale 17.3% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.1/10.

Average gross rent is $3,091, 22% above the Pleasant Hill average of $2,533. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.7 to 7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.

The voucher gap is 15.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 4.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Pleasant Hill, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 22% 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. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $177,464.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
