Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 5.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is economic stress at 7.6/10. Court records carry 590 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 25.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $865 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of St. Louis commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 15.1% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 26.4% of adults, 8.6 points above the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
