Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. At $841 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Kansas City commands.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Jackson County average of 43.0%.

Against the Jackson County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 719 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 19.0% of renter households were served.
