Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Moeller Heights

What moves this score most is economic stress at 7.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Tulsa 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.

In CDC survey modeling, about 21.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 16.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of A ("Best"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.

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