Gate District maps to a single census tract in St. Louis, MO and houses 4,626 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 1,055 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $864, 13% below the St. Louis average of $997.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 12.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.3% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 69 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis, it ranks #53 by risk, the lower third.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
