Analysis

What drives eviction risk in University Village

Against Alameda County at 45.5%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,689, 10% above the Albany average.
