Wheeler District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Oklahoma City

The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Oklahoma County average of 41.7%. SNAP participation runs 30.6% against 15.2% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Oklahoma County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Housing insecurity runs 23.3% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $957, 15% below the Oklahoma City average.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
