Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brenner Heights

At $1,327 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Kansas City commands. The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2016 at 10.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 10.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
