Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Riverside

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 0.7 points above the Sedgwick County average of 3.8. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 38% of renters.

Average gross rent is $911, close to the Wichita average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $49,514.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
