Cornado takes in 3 census tracts of Kansas City, KS and houses 8,475 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 28.8% citywide, putting Cornado 30.8% over its own city.
38% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 21.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 161 across 3 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 26.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 13.3% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,051, 6% below the Kansas City average of $1,123. Among the 24 mapped neighborhoods of Kansas City, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 6.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
With little internal variation, 4.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
