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 Riverview

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 38.0% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $739, 34% below the Kansas City average. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Housing insecurity runs 28.4% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Wyandotte County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the KS average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
