Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Riley
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Fort Riley eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well above the Geary County average of 4.5 and above the Kansas statewide average of 4.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 37th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
In CDC survey modeling, about 24.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 20.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
