Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bellefontaine Neighbors
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 8.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the St. Louis County average of 5.6 and above the Missouri statewide average of 4.8. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 19.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 14.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.84x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
