Columbus spans 2 census tracts of Tulsa, OK, population 6,093. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. 21.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Disability prevalence reaches 43.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
At $987 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Tulsa commands. That places it #55 of 117 neighborhoods in Tulsa. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $55,131.
With little internal variation, 4.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
