Ivanhoe Southwest takes in 2 census tracts of Kansas City, MO, population 4,154. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 23.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Against a Kansas City baseline of 30.0%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 69% 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.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $944 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Kansas City commands.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. Disability prevalence reaches 45.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Court records carry 2,241 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 31.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 15.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 66 neighborhoods in Kansas City.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
