Layman Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,387 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Layman maps to a single census tract in Tulsa, OK and houses 2,387 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 29.0% citywide, putting Layman 12.5% over its own city.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. SNAP participation is 33.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

20% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

Average gross rent is $975, 7% below the Tulsa average of $1,052. That places it #1 of 117 neighborhoods in Tulsa. For a like-for-like read, South Nogales and University Park score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $53,525.

35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
