Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.5 to 9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. SNAP participation is 25.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Lawrence, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Arlington-Basswood Historic District and Downtown Lawrence Historic District.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,729, close to the Lawrence average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $77,634.
60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
