Maryland Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

29% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the St. Louis County average of 42.0%. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.

SNAP participation runs 3.8% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the St. Louis County average of 4.0. Court records carry 113 eviction filings across 8 observed years.

Housing insecurity runs 6.8% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2010, when 4.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $97,778, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
