Webster Groves Eviction Risk: Lower

82% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the St. Louis County average of 42.0%. Set annual rent against average income of $71,250 and the ratio lands at 58%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.

Average gross rent is $3,463, 110% above the Webster Groves average. The voucher gap is 185.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. SNAP participation runs 3.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the St. Louis County average of 4.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
