Oak Knoll Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,624 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Oak Knoll is a one-tract neighborhood of Woodlake, VA, population 6,624. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

The voucher gap is 24.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 15% against 22.6% citywide, putting Oak Knoll 7.3% under its own city. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 285 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.4/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

At $2,130 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Woodlake commands. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 26.0% of renter households.

4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
