Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Park
100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Set annual rent against average income of $31,673 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. SNAP participation runs 32.3% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Oakland County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Average gross rent is $1,062, 24% below the Oak Park average. Housing insecurity runs 23.6% against 14.2% nationally.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
