Nearman takes in 2 census tracts of Kansas City, KS and houses 2,317 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 39% against 28.8% citywide, putting Nearman 10.1% over its own city. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 19.5% 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.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.4 to 4.6. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. At $941 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Kansas City commands.
Court records for this tract carry 28 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 8.7% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #3 of 24 neighborhoods in Kansas City.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
