The Ville maps to a single census tract in St. Louis, MO, population 1,542. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the St. Louis rate of 28.2%.
23.6% 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. 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.
Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation is 35.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 508 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $873, 12% below the St. Louis average of $997.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 10.8% of renter households.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
