Lake Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,416 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Lake maps to a single census tract in Sand Springs, OK, population 3,416. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Sand Springs rate of 26.3%. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

For a like-for-like read, Berryhill and Prattville score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $956, close to the Sand Springs average.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
