Country Club Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Emporia, KS, population 3,518. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 26.2% citywide, putting Country Club Heights 38.2% over its own city.

35% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.

The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $780, close to the Emporia average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
