Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Campus
The severe-burden share is 36%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 56%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $28,596, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.
It sits 1.0 points above the Riley County average of 3.9. Food insecurity runs 25.6% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
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.
