Maxwell Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,042 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Maxwell is a one-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK, population 5,042. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.2/10.

The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 23.5% 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. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Disability prevalence reaches 51.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. At $891 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Tulsa commands.

Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are University Park and Hope Valley.

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 28% of average household income of $38,472.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
