Hayward Eviction Risk: Elevated

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.7/10. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.7 points below the Alameda County average of 7.8.

At $2,646 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Hayward commands. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 21% 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 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $129,113.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
