Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Riley
The voucher gap is 40.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $41,710 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Running hot, supply constraint reads 9/10. Against Geary County at 38.8%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Geary County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,396, 13% above the Fort Riley average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
