Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Midtown Oklahoma City

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2/10. Against the Oklahoma County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. At $1,249 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Oklahoma City commands.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oklahoma City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.1/10. Statewide the OK average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

40% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
