Oakwood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Norfolk

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.6/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.3/10. At $1,111 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Norfolk commands.

Court records carry 1,073 eviction filings across 2 observed years. Food insecurity runs 25.2% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Norfolk City average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2011 at 54.4% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Norfolk. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 40.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
