Rosedale Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,522 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5

Rosedale maps to a single census tract in Kansas City, KS, population 3,522. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Kansas City rate of 28.8%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records for this tract carry 116 eviction filings.

15.0% 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. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 8.3% of renter households. 17.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #5 of 24 neighborhoods in Kansas City.

Judgments average 5.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Riverview and Cornado.

One tract means one number: 4.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
