Analysis
What drives eviction risk in May-Penn
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.5/10.
roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Oklahoma County average of 41.7%. Against the Oklahoma County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. At $1,035 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Oklahoma City commands.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10. Statewide the OK average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
