St. Charles Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the St. Charles County average of 3.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 297 evictions over 11 years of observation.

At $1,089 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of St. Charles commands. The worst year on record was 2017, when 22.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 10.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $49,375. 27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
