Spanish Village Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 3,087 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.3–3.7

Spanish Village spans 2 census tracts of Bridgeton, MO, population 3,087. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Bridgeton baseline of 29.3%, 5% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The voucher gap is 31.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. At $1,398 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Bridgeton commands.

Filings are well documented here: 107 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 45.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 25.3% in 2017, is well off that peak.

At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $82,710.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
