1 census tracts · pop 5,238 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Fassnight is a one-tract neighborhood of Springfield, MO and houses 5,238 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 70% against 29.4% citywide, putting Fassnight 40.1% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Court records for this tract carry 589 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. At $1,084 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Springfield commands.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 5.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.0% in 2017 against a 5.6% peak.

That places it #1 of 25 neighborhoods in Springfield. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $41,681.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
