6 census tracts · pop 9,140 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10
· range 3–4.8
Northeast spans 6 census tracts of Kansas City, KS, population 9,140. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
22.9% 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. At $780 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 37% against 28.8% citywide, putting Northeast 8.0% over its own city. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.8, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
17% 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. 20.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Court records carry 133 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 18.5% of renter households.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Among the 24 mapped neighborhoods of Kansas City, it ranks #12 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 7.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 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.
