Southgate Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,626 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Southgate maps to a single census tract in Muskogee, OK and houses 1,626 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Muskogee rate of 29.7%.

Severe burden reaches 28%. 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. SNAP participation is 34.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 33.6% of adults, 15.8 points above the national rate.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. At $724 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Muskogee commands.

Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Muskogee, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Martin-Miller-Reid and Oklahoma Addition.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 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.
