Patch Eviction Risk: Lower , Lemay

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

Court records carry 361 eviction filings across 8 observed years. At $1,002 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Lemay commands.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 12.7% of renter households were served. 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.

In a typical year about 8.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $68,059, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
