What drives eviction risk in Webster Groves
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 29.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.9/10. Food insecurity runs 6.5% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $104,888, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
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.
