Oakhurst spans 2 census tracts of Norman, OK, population 9,276. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.3/10.
85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Norman baseline of 30.4%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Food insecurity affects 26.3% of adults, 8.5 points above the national rate. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Norman, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Shiloh Heights and Jamestown. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,042, close to the Norman average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $48,048.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
