Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Oakland
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 64%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions over 4 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2000 at 0.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 0.3% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.
