The Oaks maps to a single census tract in Greenville, NC, population 4,019. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $882, 12% below the Greenville average of $1,007.
That places it #11 of 12 neighborhoods in Greenville. For a like-for-like read, Englewood and Arbor Hills score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $83,281, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
