Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riverview
roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Wyandotte County average of 44.1%. Housing insecurity runs 32.0% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $901 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Court records carry 34 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.9% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Greater Kansas City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 6.9% of renter households face a filing.
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.
