Wichita Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Against Sedgwick County at 39.0%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Average gross rent is $651, 33% below the Wichita average. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.5/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Sedgwick County average of 3.8.

Food insecurity runs 26.8% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Wichita. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. 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 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
