Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kechi
The voucher gap is 34.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.
On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.4/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
SNAP participation runs 5.0% against 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs around a third here against 39.0% across Sedgwick County.
Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Sedgwick County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.
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.
