Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Knoches Park
Housing insecurity runs 32.7% against 14.2% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $32,019 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. At $884 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Kansas City commands.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.2 points above the Jackson County average of 4.2. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 646 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2003, when 18.9% of renter households were served.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
