Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oak Ridge

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9.5/10. SNAP participation runs 3.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Against average income of $117,543, annual rent is just 12%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Tippecanoe County average of 4.5 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
