Oakwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Norfolk, VA, population 4,448. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.
22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 1,073 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,111 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Norfolk commands.
14.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation is 24.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 54.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 26.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #14 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Lenox and Brambleton. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 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.
