Information from Neighborhood Scout https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/fair-oaks
“Living in Fair Oaks Fair Oaks is a medium-sized town located in the state of California. With a population of 32,514 people and seven constituent neighborhoods, Fair Oaks is the 241st largest community in California.
Housing costs in Fair Oaks are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don’t compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in California.
Fair Oaks is a decidedly white-collar town, with 89.70% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Fair Oaks is a town of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Fair Oaks who work in management occupations (17.76%), office and administrative support (11.48%), and sales jobs (11.20%).
Also of interest is that Fair Oaks has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.87% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses outside of their homes.
The citizens of Fair Oaks are among the most well-educated in the nation: 47.13% of adults in Fair Oaks have a bachelor’s degree or even advanced degree, whereas the average US city has 21.84% holding at least a bachelor’s degree.
The per capita income in Fair Oaks in 2018 was $49,654, which is upper middle income relative to California, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $198,616 for a family of four. However, Fair Oaks contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Fair Oaks is a very ethnically diverse town. The people who call Fair Oaks home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Fair Oaks residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Fair Oaks also has a sizeable Hispanic population (people of Hispanic origin can be of any race). People of Hispanic or Latino origin account for 13.65% of the town’s residents. Important ancestries of people in Fair Oaks include African, German, English, Irish, European, and Italian.
The most common language spoken in Fair Oaks is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Slavic languages.”
“Many of the adults in the Rollingwood neighborhood are wealthy and educated executives. They own stately homes that tend to maintain high real estate appreciation rates. Their upper-level careers keep them busy but allow them to live comfortably. If you’re an executive and want to keep similar company, consider settling in this neighborhood, rated as an executive lifestyle “best choice” neighborhood for California by Neighborhood Scout’s analysis, which rated it as better for executive lifestyles than 96.4% of the neighborhoods in California. In addition to being an excellent choice for highly educated executives, this neighborhood is also a very good choice for active retirees, families with school-aged children and urban sophisticates.”
Appendix B Letter from Neighbors
Appendix C Letter from Father
My parents qualify as active retirees.
- How will you meet household expenses?
Initially until I can secure long term employment my parents will be able to handle living expenses (see letter from father, XXXXXX). Numerous avenues of employment will be available. I was contacted in prison (this potential employer came to visit me to offer employment…See attached formal offer). Since I have renewed my interest in potentially going to law school I will be working as a paralegal @ Wing & Parisi (see letter of future employment). Other areas of possible employment are Fly By Ads, AG OUTDOOR, or other outdoor advertising related companies where I have over 25 years of experience working or consulting.
· Letters from potential employer’s: See Appendix D
- How will living in the house contribute to your successful reentry?
There is no place like home. Both my parents are retired and fully committed to helping me achieve a productive return from prison. They are supportive financially, emotionally, and spiritually. My mother and father both donate time to charitable causes and will encourage me to do the same. Keeping busy and productive will be essential to my success. Their support will be essential. I also have friends, family and neighbors that are local and will no doubt encourage and support my efforts to resume productive life outside of prison.
- How can unit team and RRM have assurance that you’re welcome to live there?
The support of family, friends, and neighbors is unwavering. The environment is safe, friendly, & supportive. Not only will there be encouragement, but they will also take an active role in ensuring my success. I was under the supervision of pretrial release offices for almost two years, and they visited my parents’ home. They seemed very pleased with my living arrangements. The Senior United States Probation officer XXXXX XXXXXX assigned to monitor Scott’s release on probation has also visited the home. See letter from Neighbor (Appendix B), letter from Donald Carper (father) (Appendix C), Information about Tanisha Sanford US Senior Probation Officer is provided later in the document.
Medical/Mental Health/Dental:
- What plan do you have in place to cover medical needs?
I came home with an untreated stomach injury (most likely a hernia) and a gum/tooth abscess (These issues were not addressed at Leavenworth as health care in prison is next to non-existent. After almost a month of requesting health care the Fresno Halfway house sent me to a Dr one day before I was scheduled to go home so no further tests could be taken…See letter from Dr who stressed seeing someone urgently. I have already enrolled in a plan under California Care, which will become effective 11/1/2023. My primary care physician is local, as well as my Physical Therapist. We have navigated personal insurance for several years as I was the owner of my own company. Resuming the same medical insurance is an absolute priority and it has been addressed.
Substance Abuse Counseling / Treatment:
- If you participated in RDAP, describe how you anticipate participation with the aftercare component.
Once out of prison I will resume seeing my addiction specialist Dr. XXXXXX. I have history with that office spanning over a decade. I have safely tapered off several medications and I will most likely resume taking small quantities of XXXXX
In addition, for pain management I will resume treatment at elite spinal care and management (a local physical therapy center). They will address my back and pelvic chronic issues. My parents will support any additional costs not covered by insurance until I am self-sufficient. When I have dramatic episodes being prescribed stronger pain relief will be necessary… however ALL my doctors are aware of my situation and can carefully monitor the situation.
Family Situation:
I am unmarried and have no children.
o How have your family responded to the sentence?
It been an intense & difficult challenge for me to go to prison. I am very close to my parents and not being able to see them has been a life-changing experience.
My parents have supported me throughout the entire experience. Both of my parents are retired, and this has taken a tremendous toll on them financially and emotionally. With an amazing support group (family, friends & God) we have managed to prepare for life outside of prison and my plans to become an important part of society (see letters)
