Hazelwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.5/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity runs 28.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Court records carry 544 eviction filings across 8 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2017 at 14.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 8.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MO average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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.
