Cooper Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,927 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Cooper spans 2 census tracts of Tulsa, OK, population 6,927. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 24.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side is economic stress at 7.6/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are South Nogales and University Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $1,090, close to the Tulsa average.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
