Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Victory Hills

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 8.8/10. 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.

The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 84th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 19 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 6.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.2% of renter households in 2016.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
