Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Jack London Square

Average gross rent is $3,324, 68% above the Oakland average. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.8 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8.

The voucher gap is 23.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally. 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.

Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

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