Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Webster Groves
The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the St. Louis County average of 42.0%. Food insecurity runs 5.8% against 17.8% nationally.
Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 38 filings here across 7 tracked years.
Housing insecurity runs 6.4% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 6.1% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 5.4% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
