Piedmont Avenue Eviction Risk: High , Oakland

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 83% 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 1.6 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oakland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #2,922 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $2,130, close to the Oakland average.
