Miner is a one-tract neighborhood of Sikeston, MO and houses 3,942 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.
The filing record is not thin: 135 evictions logged in this tract. Against a Sikeston baseline of 30.2%, 26% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $793, 11% below the Sikeston average of $891. The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
