Kansas City Eviction Risk: Lower

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. 30% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Platte County average of 36.4%.

Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.0% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 411 evictions over 13 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 5.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $97,292, annual rent is just 16%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
