Paulina Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Arnold, MO and houses 10,198 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Arnold rate of 26.3%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
Court records carry 1,061 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. 11% 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 worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 13.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Arnold. For a like-for-like read, Maxville and Ten Brook score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,152, close to the Arnold average.
32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
