Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northeast

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. At $546 a month, rents run 51% under what the rest of Kansas City commands.

Food insecurity runs 39.4% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Wyandotte County average of 3.8.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.9% against 11.3% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.3/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
