Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Alameda County average of 7.8.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 16.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $3,131 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Union City commands. Nationally it ranks #17,132 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
