Wentzville Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 53.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,870, 39% above the Wentzville average.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Against St. Charles County at 36.4%, 27% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

SNAP participation runs 5.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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