Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gardner

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,670, 28% above the Gardner average. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

The voucher gap is 24.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. 32% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Johnson County average of 38.5%.

Against the Johnson County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $75,978. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
