Riverside South Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,042 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Riverside South is a one-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK, population 3,042. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $653, 38% below the Tulsa average of $1,052.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.

67% 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. Food insecurity affects 33.7% of adults, 15.9 points above the national rate.

17% 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. Disability prevalence reaches 47.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 32% of renter households.

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

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

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.
