Jamestown is a one-tract neighborhood of Norman, OK and houses 2,613 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 30.4% citywide, putting Jamestown 12.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Set annual rent against average household income of $36,840 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.4/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
15.5% 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 25.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
At $1,017 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Norman commands. That places it #1 of 11 neighborhoods in Norman.
For a like-for-like read, Shiloh Heights and Oakhurst score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
