Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Pointe
Food insecurity runs 42.9% against 17.8% nationally. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 53.3% against 31.5% nationally. Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10.
Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Set annual rent against average income of $32,065 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
At $875 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Jennings commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10. Statewide the MO average is 3.8, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
