Castro Valley Eviction Risk: Moderate

84% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Alameda County average of 45.5%. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Alameda County average of 7.8.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. At $2,829 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Castro Valley commands.

That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
