Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Olathe

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $894, 32% below the Olathe average. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Johnson County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
