Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakwood

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Oakwood, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Lawrence County average of 5.5 and in line with the Pennsylvania statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 11th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 10 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 2.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.5% of renter households in 2006.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
