Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oakmont Hills
On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 0.6 points below the Ohio County average of 3.6.
This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Wheeling. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $58,838, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.
Average gross rent is $753, close to the Wheeling average.
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.
