· range 5.6–5.6
North Riverfront maps to a single census tract in St. Louis, MO and houses 1,599 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 68% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the St. Louis rate of 28.2%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.7/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Set annual rent against average household income of $29,750 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 48.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The filing record is not thin: 1,202 evictions logged in this tract.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 27.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 22.8% in 2017 against a 27.2% peak. That places it #1 of 69 neighborhoods in St. Louis. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
