Oakwood maps to a single census tract in Kannapolis, NC, population 2,455. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. At $1,113 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Kannapolis commands.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. Against a Kannapolis baseline of 29.5%, 33% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
That places it #4 of 5 neighborhoods in Kannapolis. The closest comparables inside the same city are Settlers Ridge and Jackson Park. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
