Pearl District Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,761 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Pearl District maps to a single census tract in Tulsa, OK and houses 2,761 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average household income of $32,708 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running hot is economic stress at 8.6/10. 22% 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.

20.8% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $895, 15% below the Tulsa average of $1,052.

Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
