Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lester Brooks
Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against Tulsa County at 40.3%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").

Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Tulsa County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $995, close to the Tulsa average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $56,638. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
