What drives eviction risk in Laurel
The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. At $3,501 a month, rents run 77% over what the rest of Oakland commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.7/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.
The voucher gap is 30.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.5% across Alameda County. SNAP participation runs 5.2% against 15.2% nationally.
Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.
Nationally it ranks #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10.
