Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kosciusko
The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.3/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Against the St. Louis City average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 532 filings here across 13 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,127 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of St. Louis commands.
The worst year on record was 2004, when 4.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Louis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
