Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Welborn

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 4.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Wyandotte County average of 5.2 and above the Kansas statewide average of 4.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 28 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 9.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.9% of renter households in 2016.

In CDC survey modeling, about 20.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 15.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
