Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hospital Hill
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,627, 31% above the Kansas City average.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Jackson County average of 43.0%. The voucher gap is 20.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 151 filings here across 14 tracked years. It sits 0.6 points below the Jackson County average of 4.2.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 2.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Greater Kansas City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 11.0% 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.
