Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakland

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Knox County average of 40.9%.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10.

It tracks the Knox County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,105, close to the Knoxville average.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $72,083. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
