University Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Tulsa, OK and houses 1,487 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. At $332 a month, rents sit 68% under what the rest of Tulsa commands.
41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 23.5% 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.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
On the high side is economic stress at 8.5/10. 19% 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. Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Hope Valley and Riverside South.
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.
