Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wydown Skinker
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.2/10. Against St. Louis County at 42.0%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.0 points below the St. Louis County average of 4.0.
Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $130,991, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,720, close to the Clayton average.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
