Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Ville

Disability prevalence runs 49.3% against 31.5% nationally. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $30,708, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Cost burden runs 51% here against 41.6% across St. Louis City. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Against the St. Louis City average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 508 filings here across 13 tracked years. At $873 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of St. Louis commands.
