Maryland Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $2,015, 54% above the Maryland Heights average. The voucher gap is 65.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.

52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the St. Louis County average of 42.0%. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 30 evictions over 8 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least 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.
