Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crestwood
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 42.0% across St. Louis County.
Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 195 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
It sits 0.8 points below the St. Louis County average of 4.0. The worst year on record was 2003, when 4.5% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $66,711, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
