Central-Alameda Eviction Risk: High

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.

29.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,474, 24% below the Los Angeles average of $1,933. 18.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Vermont Square and Ramona Gardens score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
