Moeller Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,399 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.7–4.8

Moeller Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK, population 7,399. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Tulsa rate of 29.0%. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

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. SNAP participation is 23.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $971 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Tulsa commands.

That places it #1 of 117 neighborhoods in Tulsa. The closest comparables inside the same city are South Nogales and University Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $47,589.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
