Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kansas City

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. At $1,654 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Kansas City commands.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 22.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 4.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 79 filings here across 10 tracked years. It sits 0.7 points below the Platte County average of 3.9.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 4.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.9% of renter households face a filing.

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.
