Boulevard Heights Eviction Risk: Lower
3 census tracts · pop 8,385 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3–4.4
Boulevard Heights spans 3 census tracts of St. Louis, MO and houses 8,385 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 26% of renter households.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
Court records carry 263 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 10.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.4% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Among the 69 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis, it ranks #53 by risk, the lower third. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
