Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in University Park

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Housing insecurity runs 27.9% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points above the Tulsa County average of 3.7. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OK average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
