Armourdale Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 2,238 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 3.3–4.8

Armourdale is a 2-tract suburb of Kansas City, KS and houses 2,238 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Kansas City baseline of 28.8%, 75% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 40.8% of adults, 23.0 points above the national rate.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $32,030 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.

The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.3 to 4.8, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. At $901 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. SNAP participation is 28.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Court records for this tract carry 9 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.4% of renter households.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
