Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Owen Manor
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,369, 16% above the Merriam average. Against the Johnson County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.
Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Greater Kansas City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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 2.8/10.
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.
