Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wyandotte/Oakdale
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 32% here against 42.9% across Jefferson County. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 814 evictions over 14 years of observation.
Average gross rent is $809, 10% below the Shively average. The worst year on record was 2008, when 20.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 12.9% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
