Berkeley Hills is a 3-tract neighborhood of Emporia, KS and houses 7,368 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 26.2% citywide, putting Berkeley Hills 18.6% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. 26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.
Running hot is economic stress at 8/10. At $683 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Emporia commands. The closest comparables inside the same city are Country Club Heights and Coronado Hills.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $33,176.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
