Hi-Pointe Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,670 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Hi-Pointe maps to a single census tract in Richmond Heights, MO and houses 3,670 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 22.7% citywide, putting Hi-Pointe 24.1% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 23.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 106 evictions logged in this tract.

SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 2.3% of renter households. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The most recent observed rate, 0.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
