West Highlands spans 2 census tracts of Tulsa, OK, population 5,903. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Tulsa rate of 29.0%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Among the 117 mapped neighborhoods of Tulsa, it ranks #79 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Silver Oaks and Madison Court score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,064, close to the Tulsa average. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
