Oak Park Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.

The voucher gap is 20.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,663 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Oak Park commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $115,208, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
