Bur Oak Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 11,954 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Bur Oak takes in 2 census tracts of Westlake, OH and houses 11,954 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Westlake baseline of 28.5%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 21.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 617 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.2/10.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Average gross rent is $1,471, 6% below the Westlake average of $1,570. Against average income of $101,757, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

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.
