Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wheeler District

Annualized rent equals 57% of average household income of $14,985, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 53%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Disability prevalence runs 54.7% against 31.5% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Average gross rent is $716, 37% below the Oklahoma City average. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 28.3% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Oklahoma County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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