· range 5.1–7.3
Berdell Hills takes in 5 census tracts of Normandy, MO and houses 14,501 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10.
52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Normandy rate of 41.6%. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 5.1 to 7.3. A 2.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.4/10.
20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. SNAP participation is 29.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 31.1% of adults, 13.3 points above the national rate. Court records carry 1,738 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 15.6% of renter households. Judgments average 6.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $1,013, close to the Normandy average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $44,221.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
