Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Argentine
Food insecurity runs 34.5% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 23.9% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 84 eviction filings across 1 observed years. It sits 0.8 points above the Wyandotte County average of 3.8.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 13.4% of renter households were served. 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 13.4% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
