Heller Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK and houses 5,020 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Tulsa baseline of 29.0%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 24% 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. The poverty rate is 26%, 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 $900, 14% below the Tulsa average of $1,052.
14.7% 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. That places it #1 of 117 neighborhoods in Tulsa.
For a like-for-like read, South Nogales and University Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $46,123.
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.
