BERKELEY — By one definition, the Southside neighborhood around the U.C. Berkeley campus is the poorest in the Bay Area. More than 67 percent of residents fall below 200 percent of the poverty line, a measure we chose as the basis for our analysis of the impacts of the housing crisis on the area’s poor.

But the 94704 ZIP code, which encompasses downtown Berkeley and the neighborhoods between the main UC campus and the Clark Kerr Campus to its southeast, is unique in other ways: Its residents are younger, are among the most highly educated in the Bay Area, and move more often.
