Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Vanduser
The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 6.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Vanduser, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Scott County average of 4.5 and below the Missouri statewide average of 4.8. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 62 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 1.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.0% of renter households in 2015.
