· range 4.1–4.1
Visitation Park maps to a single census tract in St. Louis, MO and houses 2,636 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 28.2% citywide, putting Visitation Park 24.9% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 17.9% 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.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 934 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 18.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $931, 7% below the St. Louis average of $997.
That places it #44 of 69 neighborhoods in St. Louis.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
