Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hazelwood
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 8.2/10. 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.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.08x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,480 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 16.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.6% of renter households in 2005.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
