Holmes Park maps to a single census tract in Kansas City, MO, population 5,398. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Kansas City baseline of 30.0%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 5.3% of adults, 12.5 points below the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 136 eviction filings.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 4.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #61 of 66 neighborhoods in Kansas City. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,297, close to the Kansas City average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
