O'Fallon maps to a single census tract in St. Louis, MO and houses 2,199 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 43% 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.
Cost burden runs around two-thirds against 28.2% citywide, putting O'Fallon 37.3% over its own city. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Food insecurity affects 37.8% of adults, 20.0 points above the national rate.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Disability prevalence reaches 46.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 870 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 16.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 8.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $929, 7% below the St. Louis average of $997.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
