Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Old Town Florissant

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 14.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,392, 8% above the Florissant average. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the St. Louis County average of 4.0 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
