Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lindenwood Park
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.6/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.4 points below the St. Louis City average of 4.4. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 132 filings here across 13 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.7% of renter households were served. 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
