Columbus Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Kansas City

At $438 a month, rents run 65% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. SNAP participation runs 55.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 43.0% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 61%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Set annual rent against average income of $13,616 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 43.0% across Jackson County.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Jackson County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.9/10. Statewide the MO average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
