Oakbrook Station Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 11,307 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.6–5.7

Oakbrook Station spans 3 census tracts of Norcross, GA and houses 11,307 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Against a Norcross baseline of 39.1%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 29.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,427, 17% below the Norcross average of $1,715. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Norcross.

For a like-for-like read, Sheffield Forest and Stonewood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.

47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
