Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kansas City
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against the Clay County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10.
Average gross rent is $993, 20% below the Kansas City average. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 14.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 10.5% of renter households face a filing.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
