Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Walt Whitman

Food insecurity runs 46.1% against 17.8% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 55.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 40.3% across Tulsa County. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $29,271, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. Against the Tulsa County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

At $863 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Tulsa commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
