Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Armourdale
Adults with no health insurance runs 34.7% against 11.3% nationally. Food insecurity runs 40.8% against 17.8% nationally.
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $32,188 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $905, 19% below the Kansas City average. Against the Wyandotte County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.
Court records carry 9 eviction filings across 1 observed years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
