Pomeroy is a one-tract suburb of Kansas City, KS, population 3,201. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 28.8% citywide, putting Pomeroy 33.4% over its own city.
30% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10. At $1,337 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Kansas City commands.
Court records for this tract carry 19 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.9% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
That places it #21 of 24 neighborhoods in Kansas City. Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Village West and West Side. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
