Peabody-Darst-Webbe Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,171 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Peabody-Darst-Webbe is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Louis, MO, population 4,171. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a St. Louis baseline of 28.2%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

35% 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. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

23.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Food insecurity affects 32.5% of adults, 14.7 points above the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 1,124 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 7.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 69 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Average gross rent runs $990, close to the St. Louis average.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $41,623.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
