Berdell Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate , Normandy

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. SNAP participation runs 35.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $39,819, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Louis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MO average is 3.8, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
