Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Albany Hill

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Cost burden runs 56% here against 48.7% across Contra Costa County.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally.

At $2,256 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of El Cerrito commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
