Oakwoods Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,381 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Oakwoods is a one-tract neighborhood of Bloomington, IL and houses 4,381 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 23% of renter households.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

That places it #10 of 20 neighborhoods in Bloomington. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $72,143, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $991, close to the Bloomington average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
