Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakland

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.7/10.

That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 4.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $74,380, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Kennebec County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $897, close to the Oakland average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
