· range 4.8–4.8
Robberson takes in 2 census tracts of Springfield, MO and houses 7,880 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Springfield rate of 29.4%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 28% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Running hot is economic stress at 7.8/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 46.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Filings are well documented here: 1,416 across 2 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 24.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $849 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Springfield commands. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 13.5% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 25 neighborhoods in Springfield. Judgments average 4.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
