Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Riley

98% 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. The voucher gap is 28.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Riley County average of 48.7%.

Against the Riley County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,274, close to the Fort Riley average.
