This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Wichita. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
