Maryland Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the St. Louis County average of 42.0%.

Average gross rent is $1,061, 19% below the Maryland Heights average. Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 406 eviction filings across 8 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 17.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 9.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MO average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
