Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Webster Groves
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 62.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
Food insecurity runs 4.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 2.6% against 15.2% nationally.
At $1,977 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Webster Groves commands. It sits 1.0 points below the St. Louis County average of 4.0.
The filing record is not thin: 48 evictions over 8 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 9.7% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. In a typical year about 4.8% 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.
