Valhalla is a one-tract neighborhood of Pleasant Hill, CA, population 6,755. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. 51% 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 Pleasant Hill baseline of 34.9%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.0% 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. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Poet's Corner and Hillsdale score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
