Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Piedmont Avenue

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.7/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 1.2 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8.

At $2,343 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Oakland commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 7.0% against 14.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
