Fair Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,654 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Fair Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK and houses 2,654 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Tulsa baseline of 29.0%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. At $1,355 a month, rents sit 29% over what the rest of Tulsa commands. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 14.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

That places it #85 of 117 neighborhoods in Tulsa. Only 27% 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. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $77,379.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 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.
