Vineyard is a one-tract neighborhood of Kansas City, MO and houses 3,905 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Kansas City rate of 30.0%.
23.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 1,734 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,077, 13% below the Kansas City average of $1,238.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 29.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 12.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 66 mapped neighborhoods of Kansas City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, South Town Fork Creek and Independence Plaza score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $43,618. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
