Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wentzville
The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,131 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Wentzville commands.
Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 256 filings here across 10 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 15.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 26.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
