Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Florissant

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.5/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. The voucher gap is 24.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 0.7 points above the St. Louis County average of 4.0. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2012 at 13.9% of renter households.

In a typical year about 14.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
