The Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,528 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.9–3.9

The Heights maps to a single census tract in Tulsa, OK, population 1,528. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,159, 10% above the Tulsa average of $1,052. That places it #65 of 117 neighborhoods in Tulsa.

At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $67,171.

One tract means one number: 3.9/10 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.
