18th and Vine maps to a single census tract in Kansas City, MO and houses 1,682 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Kansas City baseline of 30.0%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation is 42.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 43%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
31% 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. At $841 a month, rents sit 32% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 719 eviction filings.
20.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 19.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 10.2% in 2017, is well off that peak.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
