Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Town Fork Creek
Food insecurity runs 40.4% against 17.8% nationally. At $777 a month, rents run 37% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Disability prevalence runs 50.5% against 31.5% nationally. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Jackson County average of 4.2. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 768 evictions over 14 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2007 at 24.9% of renter households.
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 16.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
