Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Old Town Florissant
25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.5/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions over 8 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.4% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 18% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. It tracks the St. Louis County average of 4.0 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
