Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wentzville

Cost burden runs about half here against 36.4% across St. Charles County. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 106 evictions over 11 years of observation.

SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 10% 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.

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