Kansas City Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Platte County at 36.4%, 26% of renters here are cost-burdened. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the Platte County average of 3.9. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.5/10. 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: 1,513 evictions over 13 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2004, when 20.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 12.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MO average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
