Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Village West

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 1 years of observation.
It sits 0.8 points below the Wyandotte County average of 3.8. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2016, when 4.8% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
