Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lawrence
The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 46.2% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $29,024, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.7/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
At $917 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Lawrence commands. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.4% against 11.3% nationally.
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 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
