Wichita Eviction Risk: Moderate

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

75% 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. At $746 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Wichita commands.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Sedgwick County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Housing insecurity runs 23.3% against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation runs 22.6% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
