Highland Park spans 2 census tracts of Tulsa, OK, population 6,437. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.8, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Against a Tulsa baseline of 29.0%, 33% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #72 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, South Bolewood and Oak Cliff score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,066, close to the Tulsa average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
