Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greater Ville
SNAP participation runs 51.4% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 49.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Cost burden runs 56% here against 41.6% across St. Louis City. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. At $710 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of St. Louis commands.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Against the St. Louis City average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 861 evictions over 13 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2007, when 14.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
