Lakeview maps to a single census tract in Oxford, AL, population 1,291. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Oxford baseline of 23.4%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 22.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $677, 27% below the Oxford average of $925.
The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. On the high side is economic stress at 7.7/10.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $34,192.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
