Meadowridge spans 6 census tracts of Olathe, KS, population 25,186. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 39% against 27.6% citywide, putting Meadowridge 10.9% over its own city. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,670 a month, rents sit 27% over what the rest of Olathe commands. The voucher gap is 24.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate.
Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 6 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
