Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Knoll
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Set annual rent against average income of $46,385 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 59 evictions over 6 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 4.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
