Dawson maps to a single census tract in Tulsa, OK and houses 2,616 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 29.0% citywide, putting Dawson 23.9% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 38.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $31,750 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Average gross rent is $915, 13% below the Tulsa average of $1,052. Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
