Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Maxwell Park

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Against Alameda County at 45.5%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.0 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8.

At $2,277 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Oakland commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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