Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ellendale
Against St. Louis County at 42.0%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
It sits 1.0 points above the St. Louis County average of 4.0. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 382 evictions over 8 years of observation.
At $858 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Maplewood commands. Filings peaked in 2006 at 9.5% 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 5.3% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
