Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Pointe

Food insecurity runs 40.6% against 17.8% nationally. Cost burden runs 55% here against 42.0% across St. Louis County.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 49.2% against 31.5% nationally.

It sits 2.0 points above the St. Louis County average of 4.0. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $30,558, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10.

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $837, 13% below the Jennings average. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Louis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
