Kansas City Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

That is riskier than roughly 35% 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.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $94,821, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 34% of renters. It tracks the Platte County average of 3.9 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,256, close to the Kansas City average. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
