Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oak Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $59,667, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Wake County average of 4.0. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6/10.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,643, close to the Garner average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
