Greater Ville is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Louis, MO and houses 1,667 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 41%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $710, 29% below the St. Louis average of $997. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 861 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 14.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 69 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis, it ranks #14 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, The Ville and Academy score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $31,006.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
