NCI COLLABORATIVE​

The Neighborhood Conditions Index (NCI) is a collection of data points on the quality of Tulsa’s neighborhoods. The NCI covers the whole city, organized into 80 Neighborhood Areas, each with their own NCI Report.

NCI was used to select data points that could be addressed by City resources. These same data points are explored in participating neighborhoods’ NCI Reports to help select priorities and actions.​

Past projects include installing speed humps and traffic signs, launching a Neighborhood Watch, a cost-free spay/neuter campaign, auditing sidewalk gaps and repairs, neighborhood clean-up events, and more.

The Planning Office works closely with neighborhood leaders on event planning, project coordination support, and information sharing. City Departments offer expertise and program support.

Such as…

• Planning Office​
• Public Works​
• Tulsa Police Department​
• Code Enforcement​
• Animal Services

Participating neighborhood groups are responsible for securing meeting venues, inviting resident participation, coordinating with City departments, and sending 1-2 representatives to Task Force meetings.​

Each neighborhood will identify their top priorities and choose a number of projects to address them. Neighborhoods will put these projects into action through activities distributing flyers, coordinating volunteers, gathering resources, conducting surveys, etc.

Neighborhood Associations, Homeowner Associations, Block Groups, and Tenant Associations registered with the City of Tulsa are eligible to apply. Business associations, nonprofit organizations, and informal groups will not be considered as applicants; however, they may serve as partners to the neighborhood applying. 

Registered neighborhood groups can be found at: http://maps.cityoftulsa.org/neighbors. Contact neighborhoodleaders@cityoftulsa.org or call 918-596-1292 to update or register your information.
