Kansas City Eviction Risk: Moderate

Average gross rent is $1,758, 42% above the Kansas City average. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The voucher gap is 30.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. It sits 0.8 points above the Platte County average of 3.9.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MO average is 3.8, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $94,318.

27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
