Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Webster Groves
Against St. Louis County at 42.0%, 81% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.5/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Food insecurity runs 6.2% against 17.8% nationally.
The voucher gap is 19.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 16 filings here across 6 tracked years.
Housing insecurity runs 5.9% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,448 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Webster Groves commands. The worst year on record was 2006, when 1.5% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing.
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.
