Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wichita
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. At $738 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Wichita commands.
The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Sedgwick County average of 3.8.
Food insecurity runs 26.4% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8/10. Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
