Summit View takes in 2 census tracts of Fenton, MO and houses 10,154 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. At $545 a month, rents sit 66% under what the rest of Fenton commands.
27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 121 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 14.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2017, is well off that peak. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 6% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
