Wichita Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. At $737 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Wichita commands. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10.

Against Sedgwick County at 39.0%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 27.2% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 1.0 points above the Sedgwick County average of 3.8. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
