Set annual rent against average income of $30,270 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.3/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.2 points above the St. Louis City average of 4.4.
