Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Court records carry 559 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 21.8% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 14.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
