At $902 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Against the Jackson County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Court records carry 460 eviction filings across 14 observed years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 20.5% of renter households were served.
