Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Briarwood

88% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Oklahoma County average of 41.7%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $40,406 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 47.7% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 2/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Oklahoma County average of 3.8 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,119, close to the Oklahoma City average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
