Turner takes in 2 census tracts of Kansas City, KS and houses 5,311 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Kansas City rate of 28.8%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 20% 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10.
Court records carry 35 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.3% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
That places it #13 of 24 neighborhoods in Kansas City. Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Quality Hill and Muncie score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,116, close to the Kansas City average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $64,502.
With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
