Narrative:
I landed my citabria at ZZZ. It was a normal wheel landing. The airpark which I live is lined with homes and hangers except just a couple of lots; which are still vacant land. After the landing; I was rolling out and slowing down at approximately 15 knots; when I passed by one of the open lots; a gust of wind caught the plane causing it to ground loop. No one was hurt and there was no property damage. The airplane did tip onto its left side causing minor damage.
