Wichita Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 28.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Sedgwick County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.7% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10. Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

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.
