Castro Valley Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.1 points. At $3,281 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Castro Valley commands.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 6.4% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.

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.
