3 census tracts · pop 8,891 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10
· range 4.4–5.4
North Indian Mound spans 3 census tracts of Kansas City, MO and houses 8,891 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Kansas City rate of 30.0%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $919, 26% below the Kansas City average of $1,238.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
18.9% 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. 21.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.4 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 1,749 across 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 17.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.1% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #39 of 66 neighborhoods in Kansas City. The closest comparables inside the same city are Washington Wheatley and Marlborough Heights.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
