Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Midtown Oklahoma City

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,421, 26% above the Oklahoma City average. On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2/10.

The voucher gap is 20.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oklahoma City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.1/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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