Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lorin

61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Alameda County average of 45.5%. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

It sits 2.0 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.1/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $2,050, close to the Berkeley average.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $88,018.
