18th & Vine Jazz District Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 76% 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 main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $888 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Kansas City commands.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. SNAP participation is 32.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity affects 34.6% of adults, 16.8 points above the national rate. The filing record is not thin: 776 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 8.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.2% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
