The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
At $943 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of St. Andrews commands. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
