East Richmond takes in 8 census tracts of Richmond, CA and houses 34,492 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.2 to 9.1, a 3.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Against a Richmond baseline of 34.5%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At $2,332 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Richmond commands. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Richmond, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Marina Bay and Iron Triangle score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $109,748. 39% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
