Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Indian Mound
21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10.
Average gross rent is $990, 20% below the Kansas City average. Against the Jackson County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 889 evictions over 14 years of observation. Against Jackson County at 43.0%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 11.2% of renter households. 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 9.8% 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.
