Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Maryland Heights
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
66% 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, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 81 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,160 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Maryland Heights commands.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 2.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
