Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hazelwood
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.
16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $1,199, 20% above the Hazelwood average.
36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the St. Louis County average of 42.0%. The filing record is not thin: 612 evictions over 8 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 21.5% against 14.2% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2017, when 14.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
