McKennan Park takes in 3 census tracts of Sioux Falls, SD, population 7,463. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $951 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Sioux Falls commands. That places it #20 of 26 neighborhoods in Sioux Falls.
Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Cactus Heights and Hayes Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $90,010, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
