Kosciusko maps to a single census tract in St. Louis, MO, population 2,545. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 532 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Average gross rent is $1,127, 13% above the St. Louis average of $997. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.3% in 2017 against a 4.9% peak.
Among the 69 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis, it ranks #52 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, North Hampton and Princeton Heights score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 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.
