Wichita Eviction Risk: Moderate

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, economic stress reads 8.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 32.2% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 73% 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, state political climate reads 2/10. At $780 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Wichita commands.

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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.

Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

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