Highland Park Eviction Risk: High , Oakland

79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Alameda County average of 45.5%. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.7/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $59,722, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Food insecurity runs 30.7% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Housing insecurity runs 22.7% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,754 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Oakland commands. 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 #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
