Marine Villa is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Louis, MO, population 1,720. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a St. Louis baseline of 28.2%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.5/10. SNAP participation is 39.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 38.8% of adults, 21.0 points above the national rate.
This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 824 evictions logged in this tract. At $859 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of St. Louis commands.
The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 17.7% of renter households. Among the 69 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 8.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Hamilton Heights and O'Fallon score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
