Darlington South Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,781 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Darlington South is a one-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK, population 2,781. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.

Average gross rent is $1,740, 65% above the Tulsa average of $1,052. The voucher gap is 47.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.8/10.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate.

That places it #88 of 117 neighborhoods in Tulsa. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Shadow Ridge and Cedar Ridge Park score within a fraction of it.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
