Wheeler District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Oklahoma City

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 53.1% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 71%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $35,746, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Oklahoma County average of 41.7%.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Oklahoma County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Average gross rent is $1,264, 12% above the Oklahoma City average.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
