Old Town Florissant Eviction Risk: Moderate

9 census tracts · pop 44,911 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 3.4–5.2

Old Town Florissant spans 9 census tracts of Florissant, MO and houses 44,911 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 28.3% citywide, putting Old Town Florissant 11.9% over its own city.

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The 9 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 5.2, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,228 across 7 observed tracts.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 16.8% of renter households. Judgments average 4.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Average gross rent runs $1,246, close to the Florissant average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $66,597. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
