Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dawson

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs about half here against 40.3% across Tulsa County.

Set annual rent against average income of $31,750 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.2% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 1.1 points above the Tulsa County average of 3.7. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. At $915 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Tulsa commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.3/10. Statewide the OK average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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.
