Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rosedale

What moves this score most is economic stress at 6.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Wyandotte County average of 5.2 and above the Kansas statewide average of 4.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 116 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 8.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.3% of renter households in 2016.
