Oaks Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 9,237 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3–3.6

Oaks takes in 2 census tracts of Andover, MN, population 9,237. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. At $666 a month, rents sit 67% under what the rest of Andover commands.

Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Court records carry 73 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 90.0% of renter households.

36% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 8.0% in 2012, is well off that peak.

Only 4% 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 $122,204, annual rent is only 7%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
