Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mead Neighborhood

SNAP participation runs 46.8% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 56%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 54% here against 39.0% across Sedgwick County.

Adults with no health insurance runs 33.1% against 11.3% nationally. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

At $684 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Wichita commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Sedgwick County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
