Pomeroy Eviction Risk: Lower , Kansas City

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.

At $1,337 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Kansas City commands. The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions over 1 years of observation. It sits 0.8 points below the Wyandotte County average of 3.8.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 7.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
