Romanelli West Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,941 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Romanelli West maps to a single census tract in Prairie Village, KS, population 4,941. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Prairie Village rate of 30.8%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 27.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,713, close to the Prairie Village average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
