· range 8.8–9.2
Iron Triangle spans 5 census tracts of Richmond, CA, population 29,208. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, in the High tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Richmond rate of 34.5%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 33.6% of adults, 15.8 points above the national rate.
SNAP participation is 29.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. At $1,609 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Richmond commands.
The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Richmond. The closest comparables inside the same city are Easter Hill Village and East Richmond.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 9.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
