Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kansas City
27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $43,465 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Food insecurity runs 30.0% against 17.8% nationally.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 25.9% against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,487 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Kansas City commands. It sits 1.2 points above the Jackson County average of 4.2.
The filing record is not thin: 556 evictions over 14 years of observation.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
