Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hi-Pointe
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
The voucher gap is 23.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 6.8% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 4.6% against 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 47% here against 42.0% across St. Louis County.
The filing record is not thin: 106 evictions over 8 years of observation. Against the St. Louis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 2.3% of renter households. 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. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
