Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Indian Hills

Average gross rent is $1,472, 35% above the Lawrence average. The voucher gap is 29.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Douglas County average of 47.5%. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

It sits 1.1 points below the Douglas County average of 4.1. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $86,557. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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