Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northeast
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kansas City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Wyandotte County average of 5.2 and in line with the Kansas statewide average of 4.2. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 49 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 18.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.5% of renter households in 2016.
This tract overlaps land the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation redlined in the 1930s, a dominant grade of D ("Hazardous") across 43% of the tract. Redlining cut off mortgage credit to Black, immigrant, and working-class blocks, and those areas still tend to carry higher rent burden and eviction filings today.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
