What drives eviction risk in Lawrence
74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Douglas County average of 47.5%. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Against the Douglas County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7/10.
Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
