Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ivanhoe Southwest
The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against Jackson County at 43.0%, 31% of renters here are cost-burdened.
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Average gross rent is $853, 31% below the Kansas City average.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.5% against 31.5% nationally.
It sits 1.2 points above the Jackson County average of 4.2. The filing record is not thin: 978 evictions over 14 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 31.7% of renter households were served. 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. In a typical year about 15.9% of renter households face a filing.
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.
