Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 884 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 8.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Greater Kansas City.

Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
