St. Charles Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 66% here against 36.4% across St. Charles County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.6/10.

The voucher gap is 29.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.9/10.

Average gross rent is $1,574, 26% above the St. Charles average. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 38 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2003, when 5.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
