St. Peters Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

Cost burden runs 43% here against 36.4% across St. Charles County. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The voucher gap is 18.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 134 evictions over 11 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 8.6% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,439, 9% above the St. Peters average.

In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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 2.5/10.

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.
