Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bradford Place

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,309, 34% above the Wichita average.

The voucher gap is 31.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.2/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 4.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Sedgwick County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $87,866, annual rent is just 18%.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
