Scales Place Eviction Risk: Moderate , Oklahoma City

32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 35.1% against 14.2% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.4/10. At $927 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Oklahoma City commands.

Against the Oklahoma County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. 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 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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