Wichita Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 66% here against 39.0% across Sedgwick County. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 49%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $23,068, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Food insecurity runs 35.2% against 17.8% nationally. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

At $737 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Wichita commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 25.4% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 1.0 points above the Sedgwick County average of 3.8. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10.

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.
