Boulevard Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,743 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Boulevard Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Wilbur Park, MO and houses 5,743 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.2/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,004, 23% below the Wilbur Park average of $1,300. Against a Wilbur Park baseline of 19.8%, 25% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Court records for this tract carry 124 eviction filings. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 7.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.

At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $81,042, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
