Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Paulina Hills

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 5.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Arnold eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Jefferson County average of 4.7 and above the Missouri statewide average of 4.8. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 116 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 6.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 11.1% of renter households in 2010.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 11th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
