Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oak Ridge

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 4.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 2 tracked years. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.1/10.

Housing insecurity runs 7.0% against 14.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2017 at 6.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $105,120, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
