Brentwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Springfield, MO and houses 4,852 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 171 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Against a Springfield baseline of 29.4%, 26% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 6.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,030, 7% above the Springfield average of $964. That places it #24 of 25 neighborhoods in Springfield.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
