Highlands maps to a single census tract in Muskogee, OK, population 2,818. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 29.7% citywide, putting Highlands 32.5% over its own city.
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. 33% 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. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. SNAP participation is 33.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 49.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Muskogee, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $874, close to the Muskogee average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $34,167.
55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
