Key Coalition maps to a single census tract in Kansas City, MO and houses 515 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 58% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Annualized rent equals 76% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 72% against 30.0% citywide, putting Key Coalition 42.2% over its own city.
36.7% 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 10/10. The poverty rate is 55%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
SNAP participation is 55.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 81% 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.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $902, 27% below the Kansas City average of $1,238. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
Court records for this tract carry 460 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 20.5% of renter households.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
