Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hazelwood
The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.1 points above the St. Louis County average of 4.0.
Court records carry 430 eviction filings across 8 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 14.1% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 10.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 20% 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 4.1/10.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $69,637, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
