Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Manhattan

What moves this score most is economic stress at 8.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Riley County average of 4.6 and above the Kansas statewide average of 4.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
