St. Peters Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. At $974 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of St. Peters commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the St. Charles County average of 36.4%. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 172 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 17% 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 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
