Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wheeler District

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Oklahoma City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Oklahoma County average of 4.1 and above the Oklahoma statewide average of 4.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and multiracial or other-race and ranks around the 93rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

In CDC survey modeling, about 36.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 32.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
