What drives eviction risk in Oak Park
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Cost burden runs about half here against 39.8% across Oakland County. The voucher gap is 20.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
At $1,658 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Oak Park commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10.
Against the Oakland County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $83,750.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
