Volker Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Court records carry 105 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 5.5% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,210, 8% above the Kansas City average of $1,123. Among the 24 mapped neighborhoods of Kansas City, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 2.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Kensington and Northeast score within a fraction of it. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
