St. Peters Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 78 filings here across 11 tracked years. The voucher gap is 12.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 11.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 8% 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. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $100,694, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
