Knoches Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $884 a month, rents sit 29% under what the rest of Kansas City commands.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs roughly one in four against 30.0% citywide, putting Knoches Park 6.5% under its own city.

21.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The filing record is not thin: 646 evictions logged in this tract.

The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 18.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.3% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Among the 66 mapped neighborhoods of Kansas City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are South Town Fork Creek and Independence Plaza. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
