East Campus Eviction Risk: Moderate , Manhattan

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Riley County at 48.7%, 42% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2.5/10. At $1,089 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Manhattan commands. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Riley County average of 3.9 closely.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $52,639.

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.
