Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Berkeley Hills

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Lyon County average of 33.8%. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10. 82% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.7 points above the Lyon County average of 3.7. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.9% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $739, 9% below the Emporia average. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

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