St. Peters Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.2/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 47% here against 36.4% across St. Charles County.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 268 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 8.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $86,339, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
