Oakley is a 2-tract suburb of Norwood, OH, population 4,197. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 29.6% citywide, putting Oakley 18.3% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.3 to 5.8. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,388 across 2 observed tracts.
At $860 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Norwood commands. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 13.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.4% in 2018, is well off that peak. Against average income of $64,354, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
