Poet's Corner takes in 2 census tracts of Pleasant Hill, CA and houses 10,830 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Pleasant Hill rate of 34.9%.
30% 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. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. At $2,821 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Pleasant Hill commands.
Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Pleasant Hill. Only 27% 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, Hillsdale and Valhalla score within a fraction of it.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $143,490.
With little internal variation, 6.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
