Union Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,357 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Union is a one-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK and houses 2,357 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.

The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

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

15.3% 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. Food insecurity affects 26.4% of adults, 8.6 points above the national rate. 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. Average gross rent runs $1,098, close to the Tulsa average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $56,528.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
