Wornall Homestead is a one-tract neighborhood of Kansas City, MO, population 2,563. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,429, 96% above the Kansas City average of $1,238.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 80.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 2.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 25 evictions logged in this tract.
Cost burden runs 35% against 30.0% citywide, putting Wornall Homestead 4.6% over its own city. 3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 6.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2014, is well off that peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
