Junction City Eviction Risk: Lower

Against Geary County at 38.8%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $927 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Junction City commands. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. It tracks the Geary County average of 3.6 closely.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $56,047.

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.
