Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Maxwell

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 9.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Tulsa eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Tulsa County average of 4.1 and above the Oklahoma statewide average of 4.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of C ("Declining"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.

In CDC survey modeling, about 31.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 23.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
