Maryland Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,145, 13% below the Maryland Heights average. Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $95,694, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
