East Tulsa Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,719 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

East Tulsa maps to a single census tract in Tulsa, OK and houses 4,719 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 38.9% of adults, 21.1 points above the national rate. 20.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

Average gross rent is $923, 12% below the Tulsa average of $1,052. Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, University Park and Hope Valley score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $42,604. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
