What drives eviction risk in Welborn
The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kansas City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
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.
