Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Ridge
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.5 points below the Morris County average of 5.5.

Only 17% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
