Kansas City Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Platte County average of 36.4%.

At $1,567 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Kansas City commands. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

The voucher gap is 16.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 431 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2009, when 13.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 8.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10.

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.
