Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Vernon Plance

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 4.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Johnson County average of 3.9 and in line with the Kansas statewide average of 4.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 43rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

In CDC survey modeling, about 11.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
