Argentine takes in 2 census tracts of Kansas City, KS, population 6,771. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $431, 62% below the Kansas City average of $1,123.
Cost burden runs 40% against 28.8% citywide, putting Argentine 11.5% over its own city. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
24.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 30.8% of adults, 13.0 points above the national rate.
Court records carry 128 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 13.4% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #3 of 24 neighborhoods in Kansas City.
Judgments average 4.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Armourdale and Nearman. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
