Santa Fe Eviction Risk: Moderate , Kansas City

Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 43.0% across Jackson County. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 43.6% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 48%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 34.9% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

Average gross rent is $865, 30% below the Kansas City average. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $31,136, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Jackson County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The filing record is not thin: 589 evictions over 14 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 17.0% of renter households.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
