Oakdale is a 4-tract neighborhood of Coralville, IA and houses 16,402 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Coralville rate of 31.8%.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. 17% 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.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
At $1,177 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Coralville commands. Against average income of $92,792, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
